Glad to be One

Today is a day in the rest of your life
we watch the birds fly through the air like a knife
but softly we walk through the ocean of time
and my heart's in your heart through this very rhyme

When older we get from the pains in our lives
casting away the tales of old wives
there's a place you can go and it wont take a minute
go into my mind have a rest there's no limit

To what you can do with the time you have left
dont give in to hatred or anger or theft
but grow in the knowledge you can defeat greed
I know in my heart I want you to succeed

You have in yourself the beauty of fun
your smiles are so happy and glad to be one
of the ones who are laughing and jumping around
and creep like a mouse as to not make a sound

This poem is special it's my gift to you
i know you can keep it and then follow through
to the rest of your life my dearest young friend
with my love and my wishes this poem, THE END
