To get through this journey,
you must carry along your box
and to take each step carefully
you must please speak up -

If you open the box; on top you'll find
your strengths and beliefs along with
confidence and inner peace

And when you get to the middle
your faith and dreams should lie beneath
the motivation; whom gets you on your feet

The last and final layer
should get you on your way
memories are held tightly here
and hope, courage and love lay

Now I have you on a path
but please choose wisely or you'll regret -
don't forget friendship as that'll forever last.

Promise me to have this box -
with you everyday
for know one knows what's coming;
as tomorrow is another day
