YOUNG AND TENDER

(a letter in poetry form for my nieces and nephew)

Words of wisdom may be lost on you

 they were in my young and tender years

but later in life some will ring true

so I'll whisper them in your ears

If at first you dont succeed,

don't think of it as failing

we all learn through trial and error

we mostly call it growing

Love may leave you broken hearted

but dont let it leave you jadded

some one will help you mend again

and that hurt will one day be faded

Keep family and friends close in life

and you'll never be truly alone

while sowing your young and tender oats

remember you can always come home

Moments in life will give you

added reasons for gratitude

those are the ones you may find

will brighten your attitude

Encourage the growth in others

and it will come back to you

Try to live outside the box

do things you wouldn't normally do

Listen to that voice inside of you

that knows of right and wrong

trouble is easy to get into

getting out of it can take long

Now take these thoughts, let them sink

in your young and tender ears

use what you can of any of them

throughout your many years

Much love, Your Auntie !

That takes care of Write a letter Wednesday, Gratituesday, and Carry on Tuesday and we will also post this as our One Shot Wednesdayand for the Poets Rally ... Whew...

Moving on to our prompt and the prompt from Three word Wesneday...

A ROCKER AM I
