A Few Simple Words

"A few simple words" In a moment I was born, In a moment I'll die. I looked up to a face, and asked him why. He told me we're here, for a short time to live. To be caring and loving, and raise up our kids. To try to do good, however we can. To pick yourself up, when you've been kicked down. To Wipe yourself off, keep your feet on the ground. To do your very best, the very best you can do. Is all I'll ever expect of you. By Trip Johnson
