Watch your crowd,
Could be a dark cloud,
Weaken your clout,
Cloud your vision,
Steal your ability to envision,
Keep the sun away,
Shutting out hurray,
Watch the company you keep,
Wrong one makes an adult creep,
Clip your wings,
As failure clings,
Pick your companions right,
Hold to your betters tight,
Crowds in which you are the best,
Are an anti-challenge fest,
Without challenge we can not grow,
Our betters encourage us to sow,
As faith feeds on adversity,
And talent taps from diversity,
Meet those who live your dream,
Read those who have been the cream,
Stand on their shoulder,
And be a better soldier.
