Don't say words you're gonna regret.
Don't count chicks that haven't hatched yet.
Give lots of hugs and whenever you can - steal a kiss
and don't put much stock in silly poems like this.
Get out doors as often as you can.
Don't forget to bless the poor among your fellow man.
Listen more than you speak.
Use your strength to help the weak
and don't take yourself too seriously.
Hop a train to somewhere you've never been
and at least once listen to Paul Simon's "Graceland".
Random acts of kindness are always good.
Do something to make yours a better neighborhood.
Surprise your loved ones with pancakes or French toast.
Don't spend much time making boasts.
Share your heart with God above
and He will fill it with such a sweet love.
When others fail - don't kick them when they're down.
Don't gossip about other's failures all over town.
No, give them a hand back up instead.
Don't let praise or criticism go to your head.
Well, a few simple words to live by
from a simple kind of guy....

(also a must - listen to Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk")
