An old man's warning

I remember when I was your
age.
 
A little boy who dreamed of
growing up.
 
Don’t worry, child. That day is
gonna come.
 
I should warn you, though.
 
Becoming a man isn’t all it’s
cooked up to be.
 
At the age you are, the world
looks easy.
 
But, I’ve learned the hard way.
 
You should know how lucky
you are.
 
I wish I could see the world the
way you do.
 
Sweet, innocent, and safe.
 
But, I’ve learned the hard way.
 
By growing old.
