Street poetry

Extract from "Poetry in Motion" written by Sam Parham and Rhianna Aston-Moon:

I want to stop just for a second,
Say it straight from the heart.
Life is a lesson,
From the day you’re born
To the day we depart.
Family is the most important thing,
So hold them near.
Life is too short to live it in fear.
Be positive,
Helpful,
Kind and
Courteous.
Stress is of the Devil
Stay calm, never furious.
Such things aren’t important,
They cannot impress.
How many people you Bless,
Is how you truly measure success.
