Fake is not as good as real;
Real is not the same as fake.
This I say, because I know,
And for special friendship’s sake –

Be the you that’s really you;
Really be the you, you are –
Take some pride in what you know,
Travel wide, and high, and far –

As the autumn stands erect,
Proud, in colors she will choose —
Choose the real, and not the fake;
“You” is way too much
To lose
