Family Maxims
Love one and all: "Live, love and laugh" --
Bear with life's gall; health bears all stuff.
"I love you" works to sculpt pure scope,
Boost joy's pure jerk; keep faith's kind hope.
Learn to say "Please", "Thank you" is good,
Pay your own lease; control your moods.
Focus your plans, live well each day,
Share all you can; work, rest and play.
Learn how to live; share what you get,
Dare to forgive, or else forget.
Speak then the truth: pray your own way,
Pay sums your proof, work wealth each day.
Learn and unlearn, bear with life's burns;
Learn to re-learn in twist and turn.
Live your own life as best you can,
Love beyond strife and live dream grand.
Value your health with lovely cheer,
Love frames your wealth with affluence here.
