AES314 If You Must Go

If you must go, then go for a while

Remember that first step is a hard traveled mile.

To learn what lessons life has in store,

You must be willing to open each door.

Don't be afraid to experience something new

For each experience will be a benefit to you.

Never live your life in the past

Enjoy every day as if it were your last

Mistakes you will make along the way

Learn from them, and you'll be okay

Set your goals high and strive for them

As long as you try, you'll never be condemned

Be kind and respect the people you meet

For they may be the ones to make life complete

Be sincere in everything you do

And treat others as you wish they would you

Whatever you do, make sure you're content

For the last thing you want is something to resent

So if you must go, then go for a while

And when you return, return with a smile.
