I was eager to grow up and do what adults do,you encouraged me but you never told me it was hectic.
I couldn't wait to marry a woman I can call mine but you never told me how frustrating a woman could be.
To own a family and have beautiful children has been my lifelong goal but you never told me it's an herculean task.
I love to be a boss, managing a fulfilled firm, which is an household name but you never told me how hard it can turn out.
I see you bask in numerous success and achievements but you never told me that through the road to lofty heights lies thorns not roses.
I so much gave myself to people, loved them wholeheartedly and wanted only the best for everyone but you never told me that my greatest enemy is my best friend.
Enormous wealth and fame were what I longed for but you never told me that in filth lies wealth.
All these and many more, but you never for once told me.
One thing is sure, when the inevitable visitor comes for me, I won't have to say but YOU NEVER TOLD ME
