Teach Her These Things

Teach her these things 
Tell her about mistakes 
Tell her that life is a song we only sing once 
And most great songs had a bad draft at the beginning 
Tell her every lyric is important from start to ending 
And she could always pick up her lines no matter how many times she stood from falling 
Teach her about balance 
Tell her it's OK to wander 
For sometimes we find ourselves in our own mini-deserts 
Tell her it's OK to slip 
For sometimes we need to fall to tie our laces better 
Tell her it's OK shed tears behind closed doors 
Sometimes tears lubricate the path to purpose 
Tell her it's legal to be human, at least for now 
Teach her to strive to be quality woman 
Tell her she's beautiful 
Do this as often as possible 
Teach her these things
