To My (Future) Kids
Cats and dogs are not substitutes for napkins Chocolate milk does not come from brown cows Spaghetti sauce is not the same as water because a goldfish cannot survive without oxygen or in boiling liquids made out of tomatoes Pulling the emergency brake in the car while the vehicle is in motion is not ok The hole at the bottom of the toilet is not for exploring, your arm will become stuck if you explore too far The 911 operators never find your late night conversations as funny as you do If your teacher ever calls home and couples your name with the words explosion or fire hazard in the same sentence, I will always side with them Beer was made for drinking, not chugging, they give it a flavor for a reason Being a teenager does not give you a license for stupidity or the right to drive But you do have the right to sing out loud Singing is for the tin eared and the musically impairedThe ones who think treble cleft is something fixed with plastic surgeryWhen you open your mouth you are Sam Cooke in his prime, Marvin Gaye and Al Green with 10X the charm and don't let anyone tell you differentlyBecause songs may end past the lipsBut they start somewhere between the shoulders and hipsThat's where the soul residesAnd all souls are equalDancing is not just for school functionsAnd no, it's not the motion people make in music videos where they're trying to make their zippers kiss one anotherI give you permission to stake every walking surface as your own personal dance floorAs if you are a footloose Christopher Columbus and the only way to claim the Americas was to do the electric slideLetras de cancionesYou're going to discover thatconversations are best at 4 amThe heavier the eyelids, the sincerer the wordsThose are the talks you'll rememberIt's ok not to know the answer and silence is not awkwardIt's shared,so share it more often than notLabels are for soup cansWhen you were created you weren't mass produced(just ask your mother if you don't believe me)Pornography is only two people getting paidAuthentic romance doesn't begin when the background music startsSon your sweetheart is not a princess, she's a templeAnd your body a burnt sacrificeDaughter your lover is not a knight, he is a compass and you a mapSo do not treat each other like glass, with delicate handsBecause like dough we need to be punched and kneaded toknow our weight and worthRemember that sincerity may not always gain you friends but it will keep heaviness from your heartLove the world or love GodFor you cannot do bothJust don't grow up too fastDon't be afraid to run so fast both feet leave the groundWhen you stop learning hopefully it's the same time you stop breathingFor every kid is born with color vision but adults have chosen to see the world in black and whiteSo when you're offered a pair of 3D glasses grab them like your life depends on it,because it doesThe adult world is full of numbers that will make your head spin and wallets and bank accounts that are filled with abstracts,it will tell you that you are what you make, you are what you have, you are what people remember you to beBut realize this if nothing else, that you have a God and Father that says, I always was, I always am, and your empty palms and open heart are enough for me From Letras Mania
