I write this to you
Logan and Landon
I hope my words help to see you through
Life that is
It's harder than you will ever think.

Two nephews I have
So young and uninformed
Nobody has told them yet
That someday they'll wish they were never born
So, I come in
To try and help
To maybe make your life easier
Than mine was or ever will be
There are two reasons
That I'm still alive
And they are the two of you
While growing in life
Remember these words
They may be short and simple
But the value is immense
If I would have known back then
I would not feel like my life is closed in a fence.

--Be yourself--
Who really matters, when it comes to what other people think?
Just you, nobody else.

--Ask for help--
On anything
big or small
show your weakness
and love will call
you will get hurt,
but after all
you never know who will come
to HELP ease the hurt
The final thing to say is,

--Take opportunities--
After all
Those are what make you succeed
Don't be scared
have confidence
that's all you need
Pass nothing up
Grow every seed
Live a full life
That's all that you need.

I hope you take these words to heart
They are my gift to you
For your smiles and laughter
bring immense joy in my heart
The joy that I need
To keep in my head
For without you two,
I might just be dead.
