Oh young friend
Life seems so hard right now.
If only I could talk with you
To share that it will be okay.

You feel like you have no place to go
And you are lonely and frightened.
I am sorry that your friends rejected you
I am proud of you for walking away.

I honestly cannot imagine how you feel
If only you could see what I see.
There are vivid visions in your future
Hold on and press on, you are going to be okay.

Young friend, dream big
Dream as big as you possibly can
-then dream bigger.
Do not let days like today define you
One day my perspective will be yours.

Protect that soft heart, but keep it tender
Keep a wide-open mind and trust yourself.
Continue to ask the hard questions
Keep making different types of friends.

Be curious
Keep exploring.
Stand up for what is good and right
You are going to be just fine, I promise.
