Fools rush in, where angels dare not tread
Physically or in your head

Be tempted not by easy gain
Do not get drunk on other's pain

Know when to turn your other cheek
Or when to act for the weak

Be justly brave when all alone
On the street or on your throne

Do not kick a man when he falls
Nor let arrogance build you paper walls

Detest pride when you can
Humility is what makes a man

Know that power is not a tool
To be wielded like a fool

Always admit when you are wrong
Allow truth to be your song

Enjoy the moment as you walk
And listen close when someone talks

Embrace those you love as if it were the last time you can
Some wish they could do it over again

Live not in fear of regret
Or else cage yourself in your fret

Speak kindly of those who are not there
Don't lower yourself like those who do not care

Mean what you say and what you do
No one trusts a two faced shrew

But in the end, it's just your choice
How you listen or use your voice

When you hug or punch or kneel
How you think and how you feel

Be free in your own thinking
Be liquid with your thought
Strive for growth and never shrinking
Don't force yourself to be what you are not.
