My Letter To Children: The Truth About Life

What wise words can I give to you young one

As your precious life is scarcely begun?

Most of life’s maxims you’ll learn as you go

But still there are things I think you should know:

 

You’ll love and be loved and so you will thrive

You’ll hurt and be hurt and still you’ll survive

You’ll find and be found along your own track

You’ll lose and be lost and make your way back

 

You’ll look for answers and live your questions

You’ll search for reasons and find your lessons

You’ll cling to beliefs and learn to let go

You’ll strive for freedom and reap what you sow

 

You’ll have your hardships and fair share of pain

You’ll earn your triumphs and squander your gain

You’ll be downhearted and inspired to heights

You’ll walk on the earth and dream of great flights

 

These few words of mine may not be all wise

But still they may help sort the truth from lies

So when you look back and your days are through

You’ll have no regrets for you lived life true
