My Son, learn that life is a test
Measure each deed as your best
Treasure each moment as you play
Cherish each blessing in your day
My Son, learn that life has it's don't's
Hold not a grudge for those who don't
Speak your peace, but never be cruel
And always uphold the golden rule.
My Son, learn what life truly means
Be a friend to those less seen
Stand among the flowers few
Who live this life like it were new
My Son, walk with the Lord every day
Ask of Him what your heart might say
Teach others to follow as you will do
To carry His cross among angels too!
