Last week is gone, so let's do some thinking.

Think of some good we might do for someone.

Let's don't blame others for something we have done.

You know it doesn't do any good to try to get revenge.

Just think- how good it is to have a real good friend.

We all have some kind of problems,

But that's just the way life goes.

Some days it rains, some days the wind blows,

But there are more good days than bad,

So be thankful for the good days we've had.

Let's don't mistreat people that live across the tracks,

Whether they are brown, white, or black.

We're all put here for some reason,

Just like there are four different seasons.

We shouldn't go to bed at night mad at someone,

Even if it is our daughter or our son.

We all understand someday the circle will be unbroken,

So let's be true to every word we have spoken,

For we know every word in this poem is true.

Let's call our children and tell them we love them,

Let's think before we do something.

Let's put God first and let our light shine.
