“Teach Me”
Don’t tell me that I can’t or I won’t
Always tell me to try and I will.
Teach me to smile when I am sad.
Teach me to talk when I am mad.
Teach me to soar and teach me to fly.
Answer my questions when I ask why.
Teach me that failures are successes not tried.
Teach me to open my arms up wide.
Teach me to love and to laugh and to live.
Teach me to work and to share and to give.
Teach me so that I can become all that I can be.
Then stand back and be proud of me!
