Words For My Children
You can lead a horse to water
but you can not make him drink
You can give children an education
but you still can't make them think
You can address a nation
but still can't change their ways
You can preach your religion
but a Christian man still prays
You can humiliate a person
but a strong man will keep his pride
You can give up on new experiences
but you would have never known unless you tried
You can let things hold you back,
but be strong and face your fear
Never see crying as a weakness
because on the cross even Jesus shed a tear
And when you are challenged, give it all you got
because you are always a winner,
rather you are first place or not
Always show love, please keep your heart
Don't leave any words unspoken
finish what you start
Don't let this world bring you to your knees
Stand tall, be proud
and reach for the trees
Some may laugh at you or bash your name
Walk away with your head held high
show no shame
Stand for what you believe in
Even if you stand alone
Because since the beginning of time,
theres only been one king on a thrown
My child I hope you carry the words that I say
One day I will be gone, but my love and guidance will
shine a light to lead you the way.
