Society with their ignorant rules
Try to squash the youth
The fools
If they could only see beyond
The outer coating
What a lot they could learn
And experience what I have done

I used to be a fool you see
But now I have you to thank my son
For opening my eyes and letting me see
The beauty that lives inside
All of us, then maybe
One day the fools will see too
That love and respect
Is what you earn and not to be expected

Dare to be you my special son
Never bend to society
Be proud of you
Just like I am
Be happy that you have grown
Into the wonderful young person
That you are

My gift to you is the hope that
Life gives you everything that you desire
And cherish what you have already been given

Dare to be You
He who dares to be different!!
And then challenges anyone to
notice!!
