ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

JOHN M. ARROBAS
I can’t teach you the piano, nor the violin
But some thoughts on life, now to begin
There will be snares and tempts along the way
You may not recognize them, as you are the prey
Who is the most dangerous to your well being
Look in the mirror, its him you’ll be seeing
It’s long been said, every coin has two sides
Within you is where your champion resides
Full measure of thought fore any action required
To attain the results that are ultimately desired
Mindless activities come with unwanted pain
Logically applied ideas will result in a gain
Chose your acquaintances with great care
So when things get tough, they’ll be there
Works both ways, you are to be a friend indeed
When friends and loved ones; in pressing need
Be generous to those souls that cross your path
That are unable to escape life’s brutal wrath
But most importantly, always be true to thyself
Content with who you are is the true meaning of wealth
