Growing Up

So as we grow up in size and age
We are told to mature as well
So we can be prepared
For the road that we see ahead of us

Some of us choose this path
Those that do
Have more success
Money, power, big houses, privileges

Some of don't choose that path
Those that don't
Are the ones who know true happiness
Good job, beautiful family, Nice house, good friends

But we all have different ideas for the future
Some want to be successful
Some just want to be happy
We all have different thoughts on happiness

So how do we know which path to choose
Do we go with the flow of the world
Or branch out and be different
Its always a tough choice

I prefer to be happy
rather then wealthy with no free time
Cause whats important to me
Is the people in my life

Those that are there for me
Are the ones I want to be with
Family, friends, pets,
They are the best part of my life
