Advice Because I Love You
When the good things happen take a photo in your mind
So you can reach in and get it when others ain’t so kind.
When someone special comes along, laugh and play with them for fun.
Keep these memories in your heart, when your tears begin to run.
When there is hope and joy, box it up and take it out to lunch.
Concentrate on the best parts of your day, collect them in a bunch.
So when the bad times come and shake you by your weary feet,
You will not be discouraged, depressed, sad, sorrowful or beat.
This advice is given to you by one who knows you pretty well.
I do not want the bad times to be something upon which you dwell.
I want you to focus on happiness and joy, and throw away your woe.
Because frankly, my dear, I revere and love you totally, you know.
