Decades from now, about a lifetime away,
You'll read the words I wrote; the ones I wanted to say

Whether I'm alive, or buried beneath the ground
You should follow what I say, as long as you're around

My baby, for one I love you with all my heart
And that's a love I learned to master from the start

So everything that I'm about to say,
Should stay in your heart each and every day

Start each day with a smile on your face
Sorrow will leave your heart and free some space

Treat others well and always be kind
You'll have no regrets, and wouldn't want to rewind

Always have sympathy that others don't show
It'll make you a better person, as it helps you grow

Love others, but love yourself as above all
Because only you can catch you if you should ever fall

Never believe the rumors you always hear,
Until you verify the story and it all becomes clear

Last but not least, never have the ability to hate
It's a burden so heavy; a sinner's bait

Learn these words and never forget,
And you'll lead a happy life; one you won't regret
