Youth subcultures and movements
Don't wait till tomorrow
to reach out and grow,
To learn something interesting
you didn't know.
Don't wait till tomorrow
to find ways to share,
To make a new friend,
really show that you care.
Don't wait till tomorrow
to follow your heart,
To savor the beauty
that life can impact.
Don't wait till tomorrow
to let yourself start...
Take time to do it today!

Wisdom
If there is right in the soul,
There is beauty in the person.
If there is beauty in the person,
There will be harmony in the home.
If there is harmony in the home,
There will be order in the nation.
If there is order in the nation,
There will be peace in the world.
