Keep Your Head

Keep your head above the parapet,
and don't forget it's a bright morning.
If the day should turn out wet,
don't take it as another warning.

Remember what your mother told you:
"Clear your head and wipe your nose...
Nothing matters in this life
but the simple need to change your clothes."

Could also mean to try new things and find the "clothes" that fit you. A very good and meaningful poem.
