Little ones never wish
Your young lives away
Live for the here and now,
Remember today.

Please don’t forget to
Laugh often and loud
And seek silver linings
In every dark cloud.

And even when life falls
Apart at the seams
Choose not to give up on
Yourself or your dreams.

Don’t try to hinder love
Whatever it’s form
Everyone needs shelter
To weather life’s storm.
