For the motherless children:

remember to wash your hands,

work hard, stay positive,

and always say please and thank you.

For the heartbroken:

remember that you're one heartbreak closer

to a happy ending,

and that you can do better.

Wipe your tears, put on a smile.

You can do this.

For the hopeless:

if the doors close,

look for the windows.

For the sad and the struggling:

I know it's hard,

but remember to smile.

Make it a habit.

Pick yourself up and take just one step -

that's one step closer

and one step better.

For the people:

help each other,

love each other,

and always remember,

you are not alone.
