Poem
Listen up, my daughters, let me break it down Life's a stage, but you're not here to clown You've got to face the music, face it strong Face your fears, show the world where you belong Don't let them clip your wings, wings are meant to soar Winging it sometimes, that's what life is for But root yourself in values, roots run deep Rooting out the nonsense, that's wisdom to keep Stand your ground, ground yourself in truth Grounding your decisions, from age to youth Rise above the noise, rise like the sun Rising to occasions, that's how battles are won Weather the storm, weather it with grace Weathering criticism with a poker face Steel your nerves, steel them like a blade Steeling yourself for the choices to be made Bridge the gaps, bridge them with your mind Bridging understanding, leaving doubt behind Scale the heights, scale them bit by bit Scaling back expectations that don't fit Balance your life, balance work and play Balancing act, that's the price to pay Weigh your options, weigh them carefully Weighing in on issues, speak out clearly Brave the odds, brave them with a smile Braving new frontiers, go the extra mile Charge ahead, charge your inner battery Charging through obstacles, set your spirit free Light your path, light it with your dreams Lighting up the darkness, nothing's as it seems Fuel your passions, fuel them day and night Fuelling your ambitions, keep your goals in sight Don't be too rigid, rigid minds will break Rigid rules are meant for you to shake Be flexible, flexible like a reed Flexing your strength, that's what you'll need Channel your emotions, channel them right Channeling energy into your fight But don't let them flood, flood your rationality Flooding your judgment leads to fatality Remember, my daughters, life's a complex game Gaming the system isn't the aim Aim for integrity, aim for what's true Aiming high, that's what you should do So face the world, face it head-on Facing challenges, that's how you'll grow strong The ball's in your court, court success with zeal Courting life's adventures, that's the real deal Now go forth, my daughters, write your story Story of courage, rationale, and glory Storying your journey with each passing day Journeying forward in your unique way
