I grew up to know kindness is free,
you don't charge a dime for a kind deed.

I came to know a smile heals every thing,
it even drives the worries and is all you need.

And if rain or shine, I must not complain,
because someone may have need of it more than I.

I learnt that to win a good race,
I must first learn to stay in my lane.

I'm told it takes a strong mind if I want to be fast.
And if I fail, I must not quit and learn from the past.

I am taught if I need to get a head start
I have to train smart and not too hard.

All these I am taught and more to live by
And to always be thankful for all that's mine.
