My Hopes for You

A poem about advice for our youth

May your words not be misspoken
May your thoughts not be misconstrued
May your legacy never be forgotten.
This is my wish for you.


Always reach for your dreams
Don't wait for them to come to you
May you achieve all you ever wanted
And never give up, whatever you do.


May any failure you face be turned into wisdom
May any hopes you have come to be true
Remember, persistence is the key
The key to becoming the real you.


Never change who you are
Surround yourself often with loved ones
For those are the ones who will always be there
To support and love you for who you have become.
