To Be Good

He told an infant not to whine,

a watch to change the time,

he told me to be good.

He said the birds fly south

when the flowers come about,

he said he understood. 

He said the water gets deeper

the darker you see her,

he said to keep my head high.

He said I'd find the key

buried beneath the black sea,

he said I need to try.

He told me that a traffic light

stays unchanging if I feel alright,

he told me to act as I would.

He told debutantes and saints

to care for every day,

he told me to be good.
