Dont, for one second, forget who you are.
Your smile has defined your face thus far.
You can't always see beyond your nose.
Be humble and the world grows.
Don't become cynical
know people will let you down.
Be different. Be kind. Be morally sound.
Children are our future, see them to it with grace.
Fall in love madly. Learn from mistakes. Fall on your face.
Take good care of yourself, or you will wish you did
Be a good listener, keep trusted secrets hid
As you get older you will lose people you love.
Through death, through greed, or for not giving enough
Remember them fondly, or not at all.
Its a great thing being the one people call
Be the kind of friend, that you need a friend to be
apologize from your heart and pray they forgive thee
Cry for yourself,or better yet weep over anothers pain
Talking about lifes insanity is one way to stay sane.
Remember who your friends are true ones will never change
Be who you are stay solid remain strange
Wisdom listens while the fools chatter
Dont worry about what they think of you it dont matter
Love yourself first before loving another
Before your lover, best friend, or your mother
lastly breathe deep as this note draws to its end
Dont judge people too harshly remember the dark places youve been
Keep changing lives be honest show respect when its earned
Think outside the box kid, all you ever need to know you learned.
