The forks we engage when life is still young
Lead to destinations both low and high.
Paths to perdition or trips to the sky,
These are decisions that matter my son!
Long is the journey that the brave will run,
Many are voices with bitter reply,
And many are traps both evil and sly;
But sweet is the finish when race is won!
Treat all with kindness, continue to sing,
Strike the fine balance between work and play,
Keep eyes on the prize though critics may sting;
And manhood with honor will come your way!
Stay true to your love and heavenly King,
And you shall reign at the end of His day!
