Hold your innocence,
Like a weapon for your self-defence,
Guard your heart with your life,
By beat and breath,

Hold your wonder,
Like greatness within your soul,
Your malleable mind is strong,
Please, protect your principles,

Hold your curiosity,
Like a guiding light,
In the darkness of the world
Make it make sense,

Hold your power,
Like a spear cast in your future,
May the years strengthen you,
With the experience of age,

Oh child,
If anything you learnt,
Use those little hands,
Hold and never let go,

~Frankhie
