Dearest Dear,

You must never shed a tear

You must never shake with fear

You must never wake in pain

You must never be in vain.

You must never be a wimp

You must never be a shrimp

You must never make yourself small

You must never run into that wall.

You must never be too mean

You must never be too clean

You must never be too keen

You must never be seldom seen.

You must never be these things,

You must always be the opposite

You must never be embarrassed

‘cause you’ll always need your confidence.
