Take gently the troubles of life
and do not chase in haste
wealth and profits
All you do, do with caution
and be considerate
about other people's feelings
Never sell your integrity
for hot meals are tempting
but will someday turn cold
Stay strong and firm
I know how deadly it is
the feelings of being behind
Many will lure you eyes
and turn your heart to frustration
if you give in to trends
See more of your haves
than your have not
for yours is better than ours
Endanger not your life for no gold
for no treasure on earth
is as precious as a living man
Be glad you're alive
and surround yourself with joy
for happiness surpasses all gifts
The gift to be happy is for all
these are gifts worth less a penny
yet the rich finds it hard to afford
