On my honour I will try, To not let life slip by. I want to find the meaning of living, And be a little more giving. I want to feel more of the back of a horse, And most people would sigh a say, “Of course.” I want all eyes to be on me, And someone people want to be. To live a way no one else will, And stop and lay on a grassy hill. I want to leave a legacy behind, For someone else to find. On my honour I will try, To not let my life slip by.
Based off of the iconic Girl Guide song "On My Honour", this poem captures the hopes and dreams of a young girl of about 13.
