Although you’re only little,
not yet one year old,
I’ve many things to tell you,
things you must be told,
About the world around you
and the wonders it contains,
About the fields and rivers,
oceans and mountains.
Of how you must explore them
when your life’s begun,
Don’t leave it until later
for tomorrow never comes;
Take hold of life’s bright chalice,
grasp it with both hands
Drink as deeply as you can
before it turns to sand.
Life’s what happens to you
whilst you wait for it to start,
Be true to your own values
and take care of your heart;
Be careful who you give it to
for love’s a precious thing
Not to be thrown lightly
into fortune’s fickle ring.
Try to love your own sweet self,
‘fore loving someone new
If you can’t even love yourself,
what’s someone else to do?
You’re worthy of this value,
you’re special and unique,
You’ll never see another you
no matter where you seek.
Be as kind as you can be,
to others on the way,
For they are often friends you’ll make
another sunny day.
If you can meet life kindly,
your own brave flag unfurled,
Then you’ll have laughter, joy and love,
