You've heard the admonition, "Just say, no."
from well-intentioned folks who have concern
and want to offer guidance as you grow.
Your world will offer many seeds to sow.
To choose which seeds to nuture, you must learn.You've heard the oft-repeated,"Just
say, no".
But I would bid you focus on your dream:
the most, the best, the highest goal to earn.
I want to offer guidance as you grow.
The thoughts you hold and nuture as you go
direct your course of action in their turn.
Ignore the harping message, "Just say, no."
Among all creatures you alone can choose
responses that bring "harvest" in return.
May courage guide your "gardening" as you grow.
So dream you can achive the best you know
and strive to make your dream your chief concern.
Replace the drumming echo,"Just say, no."
with steadfast resolution as you grow.
