Hello, my little child.
 I have something to give.
 Let me lend you some advice.
 On the better way to live.

 Look in the mirror and see
 How young you really are.
 Don't think about the future now.
 Don't you think that far.

 Remember how much people love you.
 And how much you love them back.
 Keep that love alive in you
 And never let it turn dark black.

 Remember, now, the tastes of summer.
 The sounds of carefree play.
 Honor the scent of watermelon
 Until your dying day.

 As you grow older, you'll forget,
 But for now, remember this.
 The feeling you felt, the fireworks you saw,
 All tangled in your first kiss.

 Remember, child, simple things in life.
 Like the warm rain of the Spring.
 The leaf piles in your back yard,
 And the songs the carolers sing.

 Don't go through life as I did,
 Remembering what was bad.
 Always remember the great things, my child.
 All the love and fun you've had.
