Things My Father Taught Me

You don't have to be loud to be right
Pick your stands no need to always fight
Stay calm when the world can't do it
For you will be able to think with you whole wits

Be proud of your achievements no matter what
Look after each other as in the end it's all you've got
The measure of the person in your life
Is what you leave behind after the strife.
