A Note To My Favorite Teenager


Dear name deleted,
Here are some words of wisdom to add to your lexicon.   
That highway called “selfishness” is a dead-end road…not to mention a very lonely road to travel.  I know this only because I have traveled it…all the way to the end…just to discover that it goes nowhere.  Save yourself the wasted miles and disappointment.  Take the road less traveled…the road to real peace, joy and happiness. 
I am sure being a teenager today must be very difficult.  It was much easier years ago when I was a kid…my stern, merciless parents told me exactly what to do and when to do it.  (Thanks, Mom and Dad, for pointing the way)
You are one of the smartest, most gifted, talented teenagers I know…don’t let it go to waste.  May God Bless you in your travels.

For you I write this essay
Remember well upon this day
It’s time that selfishness be put away
For it, my friend, will make you gray.

I for you will always pray
That in God’s grace you may stay
It is more than just a cliché
May all good things come your way.

Amen
