Sometimes you have to do
Only those things that are good for you
Not because someone tells you to
Your dreams must be your own
For that happiness to grow
Seek your own adventures
Find your own way
Don’t wait till tomorrow…do it today
Get out there be seen be heard
Don’t censor every word
This is your day, your life, your dream
And things aren’t always what they seem
So don’t follow a crowd
Do things your way, but do it loud
Make new friends and memories
Live like you’re wild and free
Live for yourself, not them, not me
Do you and no one else
Be original…be yourself
Have fun, smile and learn
Sometimes it’s your own respect you must earn
Take each day like it’s your last
Don’t bare through it like an unwanted task
I can’t wait to see you grow
Be the you you’ve been afraid to show
Look for Bigfoot, climb a mountain, paint or write that book
Live your life as no one else would or could
I can’t wait to see true happiness in your eyes
Especially when you realize,
Realize for yourself that you’ve done it
The smile, that surprise..
You’ve won yourself, the biggest prize..,
