My version of the things that Kushina, Naruto's mother, told his son before Minato's performance of the eight trigrams seal.
DSICLAIMER: I do not own NARUTO, obviously. But I love it. J

My son, Naruto,
We're running out of time,
And I've got a lot to say…
I'm going to tell you the most important parts,
So be sure to remember all of them, okay?
Get a lot of food and sleep,
But make sure you don't over eat.
Learn life's lessons patiently.
Make a lot of important, happy memories.
Avoid the three vices of shinobi.
I've tried them all so it's going to be
Anything but fortune,
Believe me.
Don't borrow cash if you can help it,
Save what money that you can.
No drinking of booze until you're 20.
Live your life according to your own plans.
I'm not very good at ninjutsu,
But if you practice maybe you can be great at it.
Listen to the teachers in the academy
And don't be such a fit.
There will be some things you'll be good at,
Some things you will not.
But don't fuss about it strongly,
Life still got to teach you a lot.
Make sure you have friends,
It doesn't matter even if they're few.
No man is an island,
Make sure they're all true.
And well, maybe someday, you'll seek yourself a girl.
I'm a woman, so I've got nothing much to give away.
Just make sure she loves you very much,
And make sure to love her the same way.
Son, soon you'll find out, that sometimes
In order to achieve your desire to win, you try and you suffer.
Life sure is tough…
But you can be tougher.
I love you forever, Mother…
