The World Today

Sticks and stones may break my bones but ignorance is unknowing

Roses are red and violets are blue but beauty is only skin deep

A picture is worth a thousand words but words only get you so far

With a friend in your arms the weight seems so small
Loving your other makes others feels tall

Holding a door or just saying hi
Can do amazing things some even may cry

The world is everchanging things get better and worse
I believe in my own strength without reading a verse

I'm proud of my friends they know who they are
Without drinking and smoking they've brought me so far

I'm blessed to be with them with each day that passes
They come shorter and shorter as we're ending our classes

I want my classmates to be ready for the worst
For what the world may hand them can be considered a curse

Things aren't like they once were all friendly - not cold
All of those people have grown up and are old

There is no need for hatred for smiles do just fine
If we were in a perfect world I woulnd't have to write these lines

I want them to do well no skies that are gray
Good luck to them all in The World Today
