Message in a bottle.

Here I sit at life’s ending.
If I could bottle a message,
And toss it into my past,
What would I tell my younger self?

Leave of the beer you numpty!
You have seen what it does.

Getting yourself an education,
Does not just come from collage,
The university of life is tougher,
Live life and learn at the same time.

Love yourself not the bottle,
You have seen what it does.

Do not bottle it, if opportunity knocks,
We do not all get,
 opportunities to chase,
Empathy matters keep it in your heart.

Live life to the full,
You will see what it does.

  1. This is absolutely stellar writing, Rog! I especially like; “Do not bottle it, if opportunity knocks/
    We do not all get, opportunities to chase/Empathy matters keep it in your heart.”❤️❤️

  6. Love this idea of leaving a message in a bottle and tossing it in to the past for your past self. And this stanza especially resonated with me:
    “Getting yourself an education,
    Does not just come from collage,
    The university of life is tougher,
    Live life and learn at the same time.”
