“Always leave a Thank you as a parting gift.
Let good Manners be your calling card.
Work harder for the things you really want
And for the things you need merely work hard.”
.
“And if you don’t believe in God, believe in something,
Find a faith to help you to get through.
And when you find yourself unconvinced or outnumbered
That’s the time you must believe in you.”
“And if you find the brand of love you wished for, hold onto it, but don’t hold on too taught
Because true love is being free together.”
Remember that true love cannot be bought,”
“Ensure that you are remembered, make sure you stand out.
When you have good manners there is no need to shout
Try to see the good in everyone.
Even your adversary is some poor Mother’s son.”
“If you think it's time to come out fighting.
Although combat aint the hallmark of a man
Consider your opponent’s view in detail
That way you will truly understand.”
“Be protective of the ladies in your life.
Your daughters and your sisters and your wife.
Make them feel safe within your care
Because within my little boy there dwells a bear.”
“When the hill you’re climbing becomes arduous and tough.
When you feel your legs are getting weak
When the climb gets steeper, the terrain becomes too rough,
The view will be much clearer from the peak.”
“Remember where you came from, don’t forget your core.
The people you grew up with, too important to ignore.
Make friends and memories you never will forget.
Strangers are just friends you have n’t really met.”
“Take some time to listen to the children.
Treasure them wherever you may go.
Listen to their answers to your questions.
They will teach you all you need to know.”
As you move along this mighty river
When the flow is merciless and wild.
Remember that a Mother's love is never far away.
And you will always be my son, my boy, my child.
