My One Wild and Precious Life
Trisha Gryder
With my one wild and precious life…
I will make a difference,
not just in our country, but in the world.
I will always be happy,
no matter what anyone says to me.
I will make my own decisions,
instead of listening to others.
I will look, think, and feel how I want,
not the way society wants.
I will always think of my family,
even when it’s weird to be bff’s with
your mom.
I will always be competitive,
and I will strive to be the best.
I will make everyone around me laugh,
even if they are blue.
I will always be swimming,
through rain, or shine.
I will make my parents proud,
for everything they’ve done for me.
I will be well educated,
not only in school, but in life as well.
I will always think kindly of others,
because we never know what they’re
going through.
I shall love the Lord,
with all my heart, soul, and mind.
But most importantly,
I will be me.
