I’ve travelled paths you've yet to walk
Learned lessons old and new
And now this wisdom of my life
I’m blessed to share with you
Spread kindness out like sunshine
Embrace those who are sad
Respect their dignity, give them joy
And leave them feeling glad
Forgive those who have hurt you
And though you have your pride
Listen closely to their view point
Try to see the other side
Speak softly when you’re angry
And do not take offence
Put forth your sense of humour
Laughter’s power is immense
Express what you are feeling
Your beliefs you should uphold
Don’t shy away from what is right
Be courageous and be bold
Keep hope right there within your heart
It will guide you day by day
Take it out when it is needed
When it’s near, you’ll find the way
Remember friends and family
Of which you are a precious part
Love deeply and love truly
Giving freely from your heart
This world is far from perfect
There is conflict and there’s strife
But we all can make a difference
By the way we live our life
