never lie in a grave with no name
don’t forget to remember your shame
before finding fault walk the walk
write all plans for the future in chalk
love for life or don’t bother at all
give large and keep selfishness small
swear your word is your solemn-held bond
urge your heart and your mind correspond
every day give your family a kiss
teach your children to follow their bliss
help a friend who’s been hurt to buck up
tell your president not to fuck up
Beautiful and good to start my day with! Thank you!
