Power Laws 25–30
Laws 25–30 retold for kids as drawing your own self, clean conscience, honest dreams, brave commitment, planning to the end, and grace through practice.
You get to decide who you want to be, Draw yourself brand new like a growing tree! Don't let others tell you what your story should say, Be the author, the artist—create your own way. If there's mess or trouble, keep your conscience clear, Don't blame and don't tattle, don't spread any fear! Take care of your problems with honesty true, Clean hands and clean hearts look the best on you.
What is, is not always what is good, People don't always act the way they should! So learn how the world works, then choose your own way, Be wise AND be kind every single day!
People love a story, people love to dream, Share your big ideas and let your vision gleam! When you speak with wonder, friends will gather near, But always stay honest, always be sincere. When you choose to do something, do it brave and bold, Timid little tippy-toes leave you in the cold! Jump right in with courage, give it all you've got, Halfway-in and halfway-out will tie you in a knot.
What is, is not always what is good, People don't always act the way they should! So learn how the world works, then choose your own way, Be wise AND be kind every single day!
Before you start your journey, plan it to the end, Think about the twists and turns around each bend! Picture where you're going, map it in your mind, Preparation helps you leave your worries behind. When you work so hard and make it look like play, People smile and wonder, "How'd they do that today?" Practice makes it easy, effort makes it shine, Grace is just hard work dressed up looking fine.
What is, is not always what is good, People don't always act the way they should! So learn how the world works, then choose your own way, Be wise AND be kind every single day!
