Advice

By:  Sue Cadell

Advice—easy to give,

Hard to take-

The effect is worth it

There is much at stake.

“Try to get along”-

With those you meet-

It’s take and give

Up your seat.

Do well in school-

Work hard, play, too-

Reach for the stars-

But trees will do.

Respect those coming before-

Be patient, kind, and forgive-

You never know

How others may live.

Stand tall, be counted

And watch what you say-

Try hard as you can

To stay out of your own way.
