Whistle in the dark, Son,

When the lights go out.

Don’t lose your courage,

Or let yourself doubt.

Believe in your resources

You’ve gathered with time.

Know that your intellect

Will help you to climb

The mountain of obstacles

That stand in your way.

I hope you’ll remember

To take time to pray.

Listen to the knowledge

Of others who share.

Be honest and forthcoming,

And always be fair,

To those you are fighting

To finally overcome

The obstacles waiting.

You are more than their sum.

Remember your instincts

That lie deep within.                          

Believe in your heart

That someday you’ll win.

Changes will come

And changes will go.

I know that it’s scary,

Just go with the flow.

Son, you will make it.

Keep staying alive.

One day you’ll  discover,

You’ve learned to survive.

Yu/stan/kema.
