Teach me the ways of happiness
so that I may learn to laugh,
then I will no how to smile
and cut my sorrows in half.
Teach me to be righteous,
loyal, and true,
so that I may someday
be a teacher, too.
Teach me of gentleness
and of humility,
so that I will be humble
and also guilt free.
Let me learn of integrety
and honesty, as well…
so that I’ll be believed
and others will tell.
Teach me to cherish,
nurture, and love…
for these are the traits
that pleases God, up above.
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
