My Advice...

If I were to give advice to the young folks in my life

I'd have to start by saying that this life is filled with strife.

It is not always easy, it is not always fair,

and there are times you really wonder, does anyone out there care?

You will fall down, you will get hurt, you will get angry too.

But everything that happens, well, that helps to make you, you!

They say what doesn't kill you, can only make you stronger.

And sometimes you will think that you can't go on any longer.

But listen child, I've been where you are, and there is always hope.

Keep looking up, keep moving on, don't waste your time and mope.

For if you place your hope and trust in God's unfailing hand,

you will get up, you will go on, and once again you'll stand.

The secret to this life you see, is not a secret at all.

It's simply trusting God because He will not let you fall.

There's so much more to life than what you see with your two eyes.

And you might find that what you see will fill you with surprise.

In order to be happy, and fill your heart with joy,

Share the love God gave to you, with every girl and boy.

Giving, caring, loving, sharing, and making someone's day,

will fill your heart to overflowing and that's all I have to say!
