All I really need
To know about how to live
And what to do and how to be
I learned in kindergarten.
These are the things I learned:
Share everything.
Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them
Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't yours.
Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Live a balanced life-
Learn some and think some
And draw and paint and sing and dance
And play and work everyday some.
When you go out into the world, Watch out for traffic,
Hold hands and stick together.
Everything you need to know is in there somewhere.
Take any of those items and put it into
sophisticated adult terms and apply it to your
family life or your work or your government or
your world and it holds true and clear and firm.
Think what a better world it would be if
the whole world, all governments
had a basic policy to always put things back where
they found them and to clean up their own mess.
And it is still true, no matter how old you
are- when you go out into the world, it is best
to hold hands and stick together.
So proud to have been part of this magical year for 22 students.
