Poem
Edward, remember this. Just like you were a caterpillar Before you became a butterfly; A bud before you blossomed one spring, You'll continue to evolve and flourish In this vale of tears. You've got a lot of living to do, my friend. Life is what you make it! Embrace it fully! Make lemonade out of your lemons, Take time to smell the roses! Treasure quality time with friends and family. Celebrate even the smallest of victories. You're traveling through this life On the right trajectory; stay the course. Let nothing veer you off it! You're the sea captain of your destiny; Sail on straight ahead! I needn't remind you just how cruel This life can be. As you're well aware, It isn't done knocking you down flat. You'll feel it's punch again and again, And you'll fall like timber each time, But you won't stay down, Edward. You'll get up, dust off, and carry on living! You woke up today, didn't you? You rose with the morning sun Grateful to be alive another day To see it set over the horizon. Yes sir, you'll rise again like the Phoenix Whenever life floors you with it's hook... And float along with hope in the clouds! Whenever the blue sky turns ashen gray And warm sunny days grow Unforgivingly cold; from bright to dark, Never lose faith, for you'll continue To feel the presence of God At your darkest hours, I promise you. Keep on living life the best you know how! Keep on growing, personally and spiritually. May your future continue to be bright And gravid with infinite possibilities!
