O, Grieve Not Lil One

O, Grieve not, Lil One,
for life down here,
is merely temporary, my dear.
So, listen to the river flow,
and watch the many flowers grow,
see the sunrise: watch it set,
while hearing the birds chirp, 
along with the childrens mirth;
Why not dance 'round in the yard;
so that life will not seem as hard?
Give thanks and hum a few prayers.
Now, just use these items through the years,         
to lighten-up your burdens, crosses, and cares .
