I'd teach them to choose friends like cereal
That it's fun to be goofy sometimes and make bubble bath beards
But don't let yourself drown in life's water
But if they do drown, I will be there
Id teach them to choose their words like a game of operation
I'd teach them their actions are a permanent markers
...and yes there is whiteout... But it's not the same
When life knocks them down,
I'll tell them pain is just gain…there is also gain that takes away pain
I'd teach them to have their head in the rainbows,
Yet feet in the itchy grass
That you come in this world with yourself,
You leave with yourself
So love yourself
Run without shoes and socks,
And feel the warm pavement under your feet
But also focus in class sit in your assigned seat
To always love, and never hate anyone no matter what they do or say
Because you aren't like them, and they aren't like you
Always ask question where, what, why, how do you do
Though be humble, never low, and never high
Be happy, little child, because one day you will touch the sky
