My mother has always told me to face the world with a smile,
and the anger of your peers will disappear in a while.
She told me to be careless,
she told me to be bold.
She told me others learn from you so be a sight to behold.
And even though I am still young,
my life is growing old,
but my mother lives in youth and rejoices at the soul.
When I am growing older,
the sum of all my fears,
I will still hear those words like whispers to my ears.
