Slow down Watch the sunset Pick flowers Tickle the baby Remember the small things Don’t forget to tell your sister you love her Because she’ll be gone soon Build legos and have tea parties with the little kids Because you’ll be gone soon too Don’t worry so much about the future It usually takes care of itself I promise your mum and dad love you Even when it feels like they don’t Confide in them often They understand better than you think That boy may be cute And he might make you laugh But I promise he isn’t worth your time There’s someone so much better coming Be patient Wait for him Remember it’s okay to cry As long as you can smile afterward Always know you are loved and needed Even when you think you aren’t Sing in the park Dance in the yard Turn up those headphones Don’t be afraid or embarrassed to have fun As long as you work hard in between Read your Bible Don’t forget to pray And when you feel afraid remember God always has a plan And it is always the best plan Your life will be a good one Even during the bad times Look forward to it

Dear Younger Me
Slow down Watch the sunset Pick flowers Tickle the baby Remember the small things Don’t forget to tell your sister you love her Because she’ll be gone soon Build legos and have tea parties with the little kids Because you’ll be gone soon too Don’t worry so much about the future It usually takes care of itself I promise your mum and dad love you Even when it feels like they don’t Confide in them often They understand better than you think That boy may be cute And he might make you laugh But I promise he isn’t worth your time There’s someone so much better coming Be patient Wait for him Remember it’s okay to cry As long as you can smile afterward Always know you are loved and needed Even when you think you aren’t Sing in the park Dance in the yard Turn up those headphones Don’t be afraid or embarrassed to have fun As long as you work hard in between Read your Bible Don’t forget to pray And when you feel afraid remember God always has a plan And it is always the best plan Your life will be a good one Even during the bad times Look forward to it
