A Father's Advice

by Bruce C. Murray

When Life's little changes get you down

and you're feeling quite angry and mad

and the people around you are vile and cruel

Just take some advice from your dad.

Stop at once and say to yourself

I know I can rise above all.

I am better than anger which plays me the fool

and its pain that will lead me to fall.

Carry yourself with your head held high

as you face your problems anew.

And prove to yourself that there's no one on earth

that's worth more than the value of you.

So remember the advice a father once gave

to the daughter who was greatly in need.

For there's no better gift that you could receive

than the wisdom that helps you succeed.
