I will not be here forever,

so you will have to remember:

I’m glad you’re here

because sometimes

here is all you can be

Before you speak, think.

Is it kind, or

at the very least,

necessary?

I never asked you

to do something I didn’t

think you could do, especially

the things you thought impossible

The only way to be stupid

is to be mean

It’s so much easier

to ask for someone’s

tater tot than

to distract them and steal it

All of us are working

to be better, but you have to

love yourself

through the journey

You are all so different

from each other because

there are so many ways

to be wonderful

And

even when you can’t

remember the joke I said

that made you laugh,

know that I can rest

because even your smile

was a difference I could make.
