Be strong, Be good

Dream big my dear
because dreams are a clue
into the future that you can build
and make your dreams come true

Stand hard on the ground
beneath your feet
So that no wave can make you fall
when your feet have dug deep

Think clear my angel
Don't let the world cloud your thoughts
For what you think is who you are
Never doubt what you've got

Laugh out as loud as you can
Because your laughter can heal
Not only your wounds or mine
But anyone's who can feel

Be a good friend to all
Be there for those who need
Even though they aren't there for you
Maybe someday, somebody will

Make your heart as soft as cotton
To feel the love and pain of your friends
And yet as hard as diamond
To live with the worldly bends

Live your life better than I did
I tried as hard as I could
And all I want for my little one
Is that you be strong, and be good.
