My reflective sharing of wisdom to all young people whoever they may be...
Youth, you still have a long way ahead
    Take your time but use your head
        Life is easy if you work hard
        Enjoy each day as it passes
Just be sure to leave your mark...

Never take anything, anyone for granted
Youth is not a licence to do as you please
    Be daring and adventurous --
          That's your privilege
    You'll learn a lot if you don't
          scoop yourself in
Just remember not to go overboard...

      Be gentle and firm with yourself
          And with others, too
Remain friendly, but be a friend loyal and true...

              Look up, aim high
      Discover yourself truly and honestly
      It's in accepting yourself as you are
      That you'll be able to see others
              as they are...

Do not try to search for everything
For what is truly yours will surely
            come your way;
As you go on with your life
Once in a while try to look back
            at where you've been
Remembering the lessons you've learned...

Remember, too, to bring along some memories
        Look at the past and remember
        That once you've passed this way

Lastly, no matter what Life has to offer you
        Give thanks and be humble
      Know that if you walk with God
            You will never be lost.
