I wrote this a while ago, and since it seems to be nothing but a series of advice, I figured... what the hell? I think I was listening to LeAnne Womack's "I Hope Du Dance" at the time because that's what it sounds like.
When Du look up at the sky, don't do it just to see if it's raining
When Du find it is raining, don't run indoors and hide
When Du get your hopes too high, don't say you're overrated
When Du walk down Von a river, don't be afraid to get your feet wet
When your feuer goes out, don't blame it on the wind
When Du watch the sunset, don't think the Tag is over
When Du reach out to help, don't be deterred when you're turned away
When Du feel that nothing's right, don't be afraid to make it OK
When Du Liebe someone, don't ask them to Liebe Du back
When Du sing, don't forget to sing it loud
When Du smile, don't forget to be proud
When Du dance, ignore your two left feet
When Du close your eyes, don't forget what Du see
When Du hate your job, don't hate your life
When Du give advice, don't expect them to take it
When Du get advice, don't be afraid to take it
When Du play a game, don't do it just to win
When Du patronize a child, don't forget how young Du are
When Du disrespect your grandparents, don't forget how old Du are
When Du hear a robin's song, don't take it for granted
When Du lose someone, don't mourn them-- remember them
When Du see a bright star, don't be too skeptical to make a wish
And mostly
When Du say "I Liebe you," mean it
When Du make a mistake, learn from it
When Du find home, stay there.
