To My Child On Your First Day of School

My Dear Child As you start a new journey today Allow God to show you the way Pray to Him day and night And let Him be your guiding light The road to success may be hard and long But you can make it if you just stay strong Study your work diligently For knowledge, you should be ever thirsty Always desire to know more Than you have ever known before Remember questions are important too So ask, even though people laugh at you Become a best friend to your books They'll serve you better than your looks Your teachers and principal you must obey They're there to guide you along the way Open up your heart and mind Make sure you are always kind People won't always be nice and that's ok, Be extra nice to them anyway Don't lie, don't steal and do not fight Remember the difference between wrong and right May this journey be an exciting one Your life has just begun As you walk this path, I'll be there with you Always remember that I love you.
