TEENAGER'S CREED

It's not enough to have a

dream unless I'm willing to

pursue it-

It's not enough to know what's

right unless I'm strong

enough to do it-

It's not enough to join the

crowd, to be acknowledged

and accepted-

I must be true to my ideals,

even if I'm excluded and

rejected-

It's not enough to learn the

truth unless I also learn to

live it-

It's not enough to reach for

love unless I care enough to

give it.
