Cynthia sent along this wonderful poem from a Detroit Area 5th grader. It’s great to read something so straightforward and honest. It reminds me not to overthink.
Advice to the Next President
Always help the homeless.
Watch out for pointy hats.
Remember to share cucumbers.
Give the rich to the poor.
Keep your shoe out of your ear.
Follow your instincts.
Don’t help half of the world.
Help all of the world.
Don’t bail on us.
Stay strong.
Love the people.
Make this a new world.
