Forever Young, My Darlings

My Darling Siblings,

    Stay young

    Life is like a ladder, you climb up each rung

    Each year a rung, each year a battle

    Similar to how you always used to tattle
    Your innocence is so safe so pure

     Life has not yet given you a reason to defer

     Stay safe wrapped in our parents arms

     Don’t become a victim to a screaming alarm

     Sadly I know this is an unreasonable request

    To stay forever young you would have to be forever at rest

    So here are a few tips for you

    A loving sisters to do

    You are brilliant, you have a spark

     Don’t let anyone squash it, make your mark

     Kill them with kindness

     Being rude is a blindness

     Love is patient, love is kind

     You are in control of your own mind

     There will be days when you want to give up

     Don’t let the despair fill your cup

     In the smallest of places you will find hope

     I promise you I will never let you mope

     Feel your feelings, be true to you

     That is really all you can do

     You are special and you matter

      Don’t fall victim to life’s ladder

     Take my advice as if its been sung

      I still prefer you stay forever young
