ELEMENTARY SCHOOL by 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
