True to You


To grow older is to grow wiser

To grow older is to let go of the bad

To replace it with good

To establish that the idea that family does not always start at blood

To grow older is to grow wiser

To grow older is to change your perspective

To dig yourself out of desperation and uncertainty

To understand yourself before you understand others

To grow older is to grow wiser

To grow older means that pink roses turn to harsh truth

To mold that harsh truth into something new

To make that something new positive for you

To grow older is to be wiser

To grow older is to be true to you
