It’s a strange world you are negotiating
between clueless kids and raging teens…
You find yourself afloat in the middle
Tomorrow’s adult, but still a tween!
It’s not getting any easier…
what with pandemics and climate change
You’ll need to prepare and arm for a world
that your elders will find quite strange!
So, what are the tools you think you’ll need
to survive and come out clean?
Well, good values and education
help you life’s intricacies glean!
All that of course is well and good
but never forget a few more…
Always carry humour along
it defeats unnecessary furore
Then there’s good judgment, of course
And the kindness of your heart
Plus that childlike curiosity
To add magic as you play your part
This world will be your oyster
You’ll bloom all happy and bright
Never forsake your principles
Stand up for what you feel is right
For many tweens like you today
are deciding just who they are
Building themselves brick by brick
to turn into tomorrow’s stars!
