I implore you to listen to reason-
Your day will surely come
Dancing in the clouds of sunny season
Smiling wide when day is done;

I implore you to take some time--
Before you step way too high-
Embrace the sea level wisely
Heed the call from the sky;

I implore you to journey with caution--
For enemies hide behind smiling eyes--
Explore your every option
Before your final good-bye;

Theodora (Theo) Onken
