Follow Your Feelings Child

Follow your feelings, child. Use them up all of your days.
Declare them, throw them around, laugh with them, and cry with them.
Play every chance you can, enjoy every second you can walk and talk and see and smell.
Be thrilled with everything.
Be amazed by bees, and flowers, trees, and showers,
Honor your feelings by dancing in the rain.
Remind yourself to be joyful and enthusiastic.
Bring positivity to the world as hard as you can
By being yourself, and encouraging others to be themselves also.
Drowned us in your gloriousness. 
Shine more brightly than you have ever dared to shine before.
Let the children come to you when they recognize your light.
Shine furiously around older people, these are the two groups the closest to heaven.
You will not want to discount either group.
