As You Go Through Life
As you go through life,
Remember a golden rule;
To be loving and caring,
But be nobody’s fool.
Give as you live,receive too
For that is the way
To mature and be
Your own person some day.....
Remember your heart,
But don’t wear it on your sleeve;
Use your head,be wise
Above all have hope and believe.
Accept what must be accepted,
Change what is in your power to do.
Yet be grateful for the little things,
Let life be a friend to you.
Grow in love,be loveable
Let others draw near
Without being a doormat,
Love cannot stem from fear.
Honour truth with all its’ beauty,
Never brutal or unkind.
So be sure to handle it carefully
When sharing with others what’s on your mind.
Treat everyone as you want to be treated,
With respect and with care,
Remembering we all have feelings
Though some may pretend
They’re not there......
Yet don’t take life too seriously
While you learn and strive.
Laugh,have fun,be happy
Know it’s good to be alive.
Take pride in your appearance.
Look after your health
And body too,
Aware of inner beauty-
Remember to always be you.
Especially follow your inner voice
For your path through life to see,
Then you will shine as a child of God,
And be the beautiful person
You’re destined to be.
I wrote this for my god-daughter when she was 13 at the request of her mum to give her a bit of guidance.
