Sparrow and Seuss

And the sparrow has left the nest
She is cozy and settled at UCF

May God protect and bless
Every move and every step

As Dr. Seuss said,
Oh, the places you’ll go!
With the shoes on your feet
And the brain in your head

Don’t complicate the questions
The answers are simple
Your progress is your true perfection 
Worth and integrity, did I mention?
Are not measured in flawlessness, 
But in authentic intention 

And when you need a break
And a smile’s can’t be faked 
Breathe and exhale
And a rest you can take

You’re off to great places
In any direction you choose,
Your mountain is waiting
Follow the muse

Remember, to the world, 
One person, you may be,
but you have always been the world 
To me.

Country ballad, female voice
