The big picture is important,
Not nitty-pick detail.
Look up, not down,
Top end of town.
Be strong of mind, not frail.
Look to the far horizon,
See all the world’s far span.
Toughen up,
Young buttercup,
You are tomorrow’s man.
Best foot forward go,
You’re now, not some has-been.
Scan near and far,
No, not the bar.
Somewhere there’s caffeine.
