We have traveled paths you have yet to walk;
Learned lessons old and new

A n d now this wisdom o f our life
We are blessed to share with you.

Let kindness spread like sunshine,
Embrace those who are sad.

Respect their dignity, give them joy
A n d leave them feeling glad.

Forgive those who m ight hurt you.
A n d though you have your pride,
Listen closely to their viewpoint

Try to see the other side.

Walk sof l y when you 're angry,
Try not to take offense.

Invoke your sense o f humor:
Laughter's power is immense.

Express what you arefeeling.
Your beliefs you should uphold.
D on't shy away f o m what is right,

Be courageous a n d be bold.

Keep hope right in your pocket
I t will guide you day by day.
Take it out when it is needed.
When it is near, you 'llfin d a way.

The world isfa r f o m perfect,
There's conflict and there's strife.
B ut you can make a difference

By how you live your life.

A n d so we are very blessed to know
The wonders you w ill do

Because you are our grandson
A n d we believe in you.
