Today

Walk,

Unshackle the past from your feet,

We are all handmade from clay.

Give a smile to all you meet,

For wisdom grows with age.

Save for the future, not for what is near,

Make lasting friends, so dear.

That's what they say: to walk the good path,

And add many years to your days. 

Hear,

In the darkest times, be the sunlight's ray,

Bringing love and casting out fear.

Stay true to your path, never stray,

Spread goodwill, kindness, and cheer.

Always listen, with thank you and please,

And you’ll hold the latchkey.

That’s what they hear—so remember,

Friends believe. 

See,

Don't just work—take time to play.

Laugh so hard it brings you to tears.

Think for yourself, don’t follow cliché.

Respect both elders and peers,

Never turn away, give a meal to those in need.

Don’t start wars. Plant trees.

That’s what they see—Therefore,

Cherish moments, seek peace.
