Life Advice
You’re the brightest star
 That I’ve ever seen
 You don’t listen to what others say,
 Even when it’s mean
 
 You don’t let what others do
 Ever get you down
 And with such a wonderful smile,
 It’s hard to see you frown
 
 So stay positive and remember
 To always try your best
 Because everything you do 
 Might end up being better than the rest
 
 When you fall,
 Just go and get back up.
 Because life may not always be easy,
 But it’s also not always tough
 
 Stay focused on the future
 And don’t dwell on the past;
 Just because you got hurt once
 Doesn’t mean you’ll always need a cast
 
 Try to make a difference
 In the lives of everyone else
 You may not always succeed,
 But you won’t always fail
 
 Keep trying and never give up,
 Even when it seems that life is getting tough.
 Push for above and beyond,
 Instead of just having enough. 
 
 Remember who’s helped you
 And who’s pushed you down
 And be thankful for every day,
 From sunrise to sundown. 
 
 Don’t regret your past,
 And try to love all that you can 
 Because life will be over before
 You’ve known that it even began
