Do not go where words are mean,
Where teasing hurts and jokes are rude;
Such places slowly teach the heart
To lose its warmth and forget what's good.
Do not stay where sense is lost,
Where fun turns noisy, wild, and loud;
Bright things there may look like gold,
Yet leave you lonely in a crowd.
Do not trust a smiling face
That hides a plan to trick or cheat;
True friends are honest, kind, and fair,
Their words and actions always meet.
Stay away from greedy ways,
Where only money seems to shine;
Chasing more and more each day
Steals your joy and peace of mind.
Avoid the path where pride is king,
Where boasting sounds both big and strong;
Real strength lives in gentle hearts
That know what's right and shun the wrong.
Choose the road where goodness grows,
Where truth and care light every mile;
The wisest kids walk paths like these
And shape a life worth every smile.
