Just the other day I went to see a friend on the job
When I finally had to say goodbye it hit me kind of hard
It was someone truly special to any and everyone she would meet
Her poise, style and grace, her conversation were hard to beat
Doesn’t everyone want someone who’s a joy to spend time with?
Holding hands because you feel closer, maybe to even share a kiss
I may never get the chance to have her as my wife
It brings to mind important lessons I have learned in my life
While thinking of what I love about the people I know best
I began to see a pattern that left me so impressed
Walking to that road to love and happiness
If you do it right the first time, you will be doubly blessed
Some very easy lessons you can do not just for your health.
If you don't believe what you stand for why should anybody else.
There is more to learn about other people if you are interested
Nothing is sweeter than the lessons that you learn from your kids
Show them that contemplation will ease the pain of waiting
Show them that confrontation is not the only way to deal with their frustrations
Tell them that there is only one true way to be their best
One surefire way to seek and find their happiness
Look at every other person the same way that you look at yourself
If they are doing what you do what it means to you
No one can make you do anything that you really don't want to
Just what someone says will never make it true
The most important things in life are lessons that cost
You some thing that money cannot ever buy
Like your reputation (please don't lie to those that you love)
Like your attitude (calm, cool, perceptive)
Nice, but firm... never cruel or rude
Unless somebody tries to take you for a simple minded fool)
Like being a fair minded person
When every one else around you is acting the fool
You conduct yourself simple and straightforward
People believe you are blessed with wisdom and vision
So like people are naturally attracted to be your friends
Bringing your life’s course into in a new dimensions
So confidently you walk, you are starting to take hold
Every body can see nothing but your self control
As you develop experience in what you do
Your reformation becomes the latest definition of cool
As you continue to progress you've gotten your wings
Naturally your mind moves on to other things
Sexual prowess is a different test
It’s a spiritual, emotional battle of self conquest
You must learn the truth, the secret way to loving yourself
Before you can deal with the trials and errors loving somebody else
Be careful, sometimes foolish people will try to get to you
Before you realize for certain just what they are trying to do,
Don’t let their mean spirited illusions put you on the ropes
Bringing you nothing but confusion, broken dreams and false hopes,
You will come to find out later with what games they were trying
Their only true skills are subterfuge, stealing, cheating and lying
Trouble may come in many shades, shapes and sizes
Just don’t fall for their problematic invocations of many disguises
Let me reveal to you a simple truth, It’s not hard to find the answer
with an amazing test so simple that’s almost foolproof
Like minded people live their dreams every day
Treating people with respect in every way
They work really hard doing only what they perceive
Makes for a good example what a person can achieve
Let your children know that you love them unconditionally
Showing compassion ways others find hard to believe
You must be honest when you are dealing
With someone that you really care about
Be fair with your sense of values in all your dealings,
Be genuine with people with your feelings
And to keep others out of your business
Be honest with your efforts, do your best
You are only one person and true you will find
There is no treasure greater than peace of mind
In finding someone that you truly love
You must never accept a substitute
Or you may find yourself trapped by something on fire
You really did not deserve, nor truly desire
Judge a tree by its fruit and not by its wine
You will become wiser, wealthy in time
Don’t be fooled by a pretty person, in the perfect package of your dreams
Funny how appearances change into things not always what they seem
Someone who that treats you like a possession
They may not love you for your self expression
Can be nasty, cruel, and thoughtless and mean
And that’s not good for your health esteem
And when they cannot trick you they will steal from you
Money, happiness, peace of mind or even your dreams
Beware of pretty people, acting what seems sophisticated acting cute
Don’t be tricked by a smooth talker just because they wear a business suit
From smooth talking and fast lives, refrain
It’s guaranteed to will bring you pain
Always be true to yourself and you will find
You will among loving people fair and kind
Stay away from people who always say they will change
In the oldest profession, in the losers game
Although loving people also have sometimes live in pain
Remember loving people will try to stay the same
Somebody who loves you never gets cute,
Or treats you like some kind of prostitute
They will stick by you thru thick and thin,
Ever constant and enduring, as they always have been
If their love for you is as real as it seems
They have love that’s true even in their dreams
When it comes to people bringing bad news to you,
Listen carefully to your own heart for the truth
Real love has class but has no pride;
true value comes only from the inside
If you get fooled by trusting someone, who is running a trick
You must change your actions and change them quick
Don’t get caught up into another’s person’s game
It’s far easier to change your path than to change your name
It’s so easy to see your perspective from where you are at
Just remember you don’t have the nine lives of a cat
This truth is something if you do it right
You escape unnecessary traps, pain and lies
For if you continue to walk along the wrong path
You will travel ever deeper into a scheme or trap
It’s so easy to get lost walking with your carefree stride
Forgetting your footsteps when you first arrived
Getting all wrapped up in having a great time
Filled with false emotions can only make you blind
And wake up somewhat later, drunk with the wine
Of broken hearted vision, having wasted precious time
Even worse as later you might even find
Caught up in a situation with ties that bind
If you are not careful sometimes get caught up in the trap of pride
And wind up with a foolish risk taker on a roller coaster ride
And if that alone doesn’t make you sick and make you choke
Leave you even lose your right mind or end up taking dope
Should you get caught up don't lose all hope
There are many more dangerous lies with which you must cope
You might fall into a worse trap a beautiful, but false attraction
You give all, they only get bored and you get no action
So seductive fun and carefree, yet...something odd makes you uneasy
The charm wears off and soon you will see more
Beneath the veneer the reality may be rotten to the core
Don’t be tempted by the consequences of their elation
All they should ever get from you is conversation
Above emotions, needs and wants the cost of doing things half way
Will have you stuck paying bills you should never have to pay
When you find someone really special, worthy of your love
Their very presence is a constant joy a blessing from above
Make them feel special when you meet them above everybody else
Treat them even better than you treat would normally treat yourself
You will find that when they show appreciation will make you feel
That you are getting back in every way the best possible deal
Never forget in each moment of each day what you work so hard for
Will never fail to have greater appreciation bringing greater rewards
So do not cheat yourself playing mind games with a fool
You set yourself up with playing by somebody else’s rules
What ever you reap you will so, so always be true to you
Don’t what you know in your heart things that you should not do
You can lose everything that’s most important to you
Your happiness, reputation, even your life can be lost
Someone with nothing to lose never seems to mind the cost
Protect the spirits and emotions of those you love,
They are sent here as the gift from the one above,
They are the truest measure of love and the spring of your health
The strength of your commitment, the secret of true wealth
You will get the fullest measure, remember never to cheat
If you disregard the rules you are almost certain to get beat
You only get one chance to do it right in every way
So give them your best practice it everyday
When children are involved be careful what you say
No matter what goes wrong they know that they will be okay
When they get your full attention each and everyday
But show them there is a price they will always have to pay
Teach them by your example (yes, i know it’s hard)
They understand more than you think (in this regard
Although it’s not so easy to do the right thing
It really doesn't matter if you are a fool or king
The rewards are so much sweeter
it will make you want to sing
When your best efforts
bear the fruits it will surely bring
Life is just too short to hang around people
who always wink and Nod,
Playing computer games
and watching soap operas on the job,
There is no benefit to you
in your being selfish, playing God
Listening to boogie and hip-hop
rhythms from your IPOD.
LIVE every moment of your life
as if it were to be your last.
FORGIVE yourself and the other people
who did you wrong in the past.
REMEMBER to give your love freely
(but do not include your ass)
KEEP something in reserve
for the ONE you want to last...
Take care of your body
(remember not to work too hard).
Your children are not your property;
they are a gift
from ______
…fill in the blank…
(from the creator)
