Grace - Message to young NOLA

Never let people get you down

Keep on smiling, and never frown

Things always work out in the end

Be yourself, and no one else my friend

Don’t let anyone tell you who to be

Try it out and you will see

Even when push comes to shove

God will be smiling from above

Make time for school and get good grades

Make good memories that will never fade

Keep friends and family close to your heart

And you and your loved ones will never be apart

Grace, age 16
