Sometimes I give away
Too much free advice
My business mind kicks in
And suddenly I am telling you
How to create a master plan
One year, five, and ten
Then I wonder if you were
Even paying attention
As I spouted out the information
Did my words sink in
Do you recognize their value
Or were they simply
Lost on you
Will you try
Anything I advised
Or will it be forgotten
As soon as sleep comes
And you close your eyes
