Words To My Son

Time is of the essence In the time we have to share Tomorrow's not a given Yesterday's no longer here So live life to the fullest Love and laugh and sing Stop dreaming of your wishes And live out every dream Forget about your heartaches Take your losses all in stride Go beyond what you thought possible Let passion be your guide Look back and always reaffirm Commitments that you've made Be a person of your word Give thanks for each new day Don't compromise your principles Sit to the Lords right hand Be kind, caring and compassionate To your fellow man Leave each place that you go Better than you came Know that friends and family Are worth more than is fame Give to those you see in need With silver and or gold And if money's not what they need most Just be a hand to hold Don't live beyond the means you have Save up for rainy days When you find your one true love Don't let them get away Admit when you are wrong And be humble when you're right Make sure to say I Love You Before your head lays down each night Don't put off till tomorrow What you can do today Cause time on earth passes fast You'll soon be old and gray Listen to your elders And learn from what they say Cherish every moment shared Give thanks for memories made Be not bitter when those you love Are called to head on home Give thanks for all the time you had Be glad that it was known Be sure to keep your head held high Work hard in all you do Remember of these words I wrote And know that I Loved You!
