ADVICE
 

 Why can't anyone let you live your own life?
To handle your own problems, family and strife.
There is always a butt in, that thinks they know more
than you
And will gladly tell you exactly what to do.

Unless they are in your place,
They should just kindly get off your case.
The only one you have to answer to
Is the Lord above who knows all about you.

Things happen in our life that no one else can see.
Sometimes it doesn't even make sense to me.
So, how can anyone know more than you?
How do they know what you're going through?

So, when someone asks for your advice
Try to help by always being nice.
Tell them you will always be there
But you must know the whole story to be fair.

Then help them to understand, advice you can give,
But the decisions they make, they have to live with.
Always remember when you give advice,
That what you say or do affects someone else's life.

Make sure you can live with what you advise them to do
For God is always watching you.
You'd hate to spend the rest of your life,
Trying to make a wrong that you caused right.
