An Unopened Book
Teachable Force
Teach me to love.
To respect one another.
Not to walk in the shadows.
Stand tall, be proud.
But, know when to swallow pride.
Teach me to laugh at myself,
not to laugh at others.
Teach me to stand up for what I believe in.
But, not to put others down for having faith.
Teach me not to follow.
Teach me not to lead others into wrong.
Teach me I will listen, show me I will do.
Force me and I will rebel.
Love me and I will love you too.
