An Ode To The Younger Ones

Your life, your journey 

begins at home, 

in your own backyard. 

This is where

 dreams take shape

This is where 

values are forged. 

Know who you are, 

Whose you are, 

Where you're from. 

The grass is green and tall. 

Time is fresh and kind. 

Enjoy your backyard life 

While it lasts. 

See beauty in little lanes.

Put your heart in all that you do. 

If you ever need a pat on the back

Then call your sister

Tell her, 

Celebrate , 

Let there be 

Laughter, 

Dancing, 

Light and 

Life

Enjoy it while you have it. 

Don't be afraid

Of hard work, 

Of questions,

Of constructing

Dreams and friendships. 

It is your duty, my  friend

To find for yourself 

some good friends. 

A strong support at your back

for the rest of your life. 

So, go make some friends

Talk deep and love deeper. 

So go climb and go live. 

While you can.
