Mentors Take Your Places by Anna Fisher

Mentors take your places
On this stage that we call life
There’re far too many dying
All too weak from stress and strife.
Think of those devoted ones who had the faith in you
To take the time to show you How to make your dreams come true.

The more time that you spent with them
The sooner that you knew
It really wasn’t them at all
The assurance came from you

Mentors you are needed
On the front lines of this war
To help the youths and lead them
Whether homeless, rich or poor.
These children are the leaders
In tomorrow’s busy world
Stretching their horizons Like a butterfly unfurled.

A mentor is a teacher,
A counselor, a guide,
A coach or a big brother
And a tutor on the side. These selfless people rarely get
The credit they are due
They seldom know they’ve touched a life
That may’ve belonged to you.
If more of us would get involved
Only time will tell
No one can truly help another
Without helping themselves as well.

Mentors take your places
On this stage that we call life
There’re far too many dying
All too weak from stress and strife.
Think of those devoted ones
Who had the faith in you
To take the time to show you
How to make your dreams come true.
