Naivety
is a strength
in youth
for if not for
naivety
goals would not
be possible.
Children dream of aspects
they wish to achieve.
Do not stop
their fantasies.
If they set
their minds
upon a goal
but have the steps
confused
if you feed
them with
courage and
inspiration
they will find a way.
People stop
our futures
due to lack
of encouragement.
If our youth
is inspired
to be the best
and told positivity
and seen success
through our happiness
they have more
hope to be better
then we are.
If you don't have
much and want more
don't show them
frustration
be feeling bad
for what you don't have.
Be glad for
what you have.
I don't have much-
everything I have is used
but I'm grateful
for every piece
of my life
because it's mine.
Take pride in
yourself
inside and out
and they will
adopt those feelings
in their own young lives.
Our children
deserve
to be happy and successful
to make our country
strong and powerful again.
