WHEN YOU’RE A BIG FISH IN A RIVER
WITH SMALL FISH,
BE HUMBLE
LEARN ALL YOU CAN
BE NICE AND HELPFUL
AND ALWAYS TEACH OTHERS
AS FAR AS YOU CAN
AND LEARN TO BE THE BEST;
NOT JUST BETTER THAN THE REST
FOR SOMEDAY, BIG FISH, YOUR
SIZE AND YOURSELF
WILL TAKE YOU INTO FOREIGN WATERS,
THERE YOU’LL MEET FISH WHO ARE AT HOME IN THE WATER
YOU CALL FOREIGN
AND THEN, YOU TOO WILL BE A LITTLE FISH
BECAUSE YOU’LL NEED TO BE HELPED,
SHOWN AROUND,
GUIDED, DIRECTED AND TAUGHT
TILL YOU CAN FIND YOUR OWN
WAY AND ARE A BIG FISH TOO!
IT WILL TAKE WORK
LOTS AND LOTS OF IT
YOU WON’T HAVE IT EASY
YOU’LL FEEL LOST, DISORIENTED,
DISCOURAGED AND DOWN
BUT DON’T YOU GIVE UP
BECAUSE WHEN YOU TRULY
LOOK AT THEM, THEY’RE THE
SAME SIZE AS YOU
(YOU’RE EVEN BETTER BECAUSE YOU KNOW OTHER WATERS TOO!)
EXCEPT THEY ARE AT
HOME IN THE WATER
YOU CALL FOREIGN
BUT REMEMBER THAT YOU
HAVE TO WORK, YOU HAVE TO
LEARN
NEVER FORGET THAT!
LEARN A BIT FROM HERE,
THERE AND EVERYWHERE
PUT THEM TOGETHER, AND BE
THE BEST THAT YOU ARE
AND THEN YOU’LL BE READY
AGAIN FOR EVEN BIGGER
AND MORE FOREIGN WATERS
BUT YOU’LL HAVE TO CARRY THE LESSONS ALONG
SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS
REMEMBER TOO THAT YOU
HAVE TO SHINE WHEREVER
YOU GO AND MAKE A
DIFFERENCE HOWEVER SMALL
BECAUSE THAT IS THE
ESSENCE OF BEING A BIG FISH
