To My Sons Your Farthers Instructions

The words I give you are sound They have been my comfort They have been my companion This is Protocol never be anxious Be Slow to speak and quick to listen And when in doubt, wait and think about it Always respond and never react to a crisis Never panic always remain the Master of your emotions Guard your heart with all cost Beware of Cupids Arrow And the fiery darts of Satan Hunt and gather and always remember A wise son prepares for the winter What is sought in a man is kindness Never correct a scoffer less he hates you Let no man take advantage of your sister And the day will come listen When Satan comes against you Go into war as an Appache Warrior Learn how to step quietly when Leaves are under your feet Inside the Forest And when you speak, speak as an oracle of God Be thankful always And be generous to those less fortunate Collect and share knowledge Theres not a man alive who knows everything be aware, be careful Don't listen to lips that flatter Men are full of evil They won't sleep until they seek your blood And this Rainbow of Faith that I place over you Remember God is real And the only proof of his exsistence is the Devil God is everlasting Love and tender Mercies HE says " I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy and I will harden whom I will harden" Yes my Sons God gives and He takes away He tests the heart of men Men may do you evil, but God will mean it for your good Fear no man, no not even the devil The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom Listen to that still small voice For it is His guidance And there is no need to fear the unknown For it is God Almighty who leads you into new directions Be humble for you are my seed Never follow another if he trys to lead you If a man ask you to run a mile with him run two The enemy sits and waits to twist your words And we all make mistakes Sit quietly when you suffer defeats Learn from them and you will be a fine Leader If you tell afriend I'm coming over tomorrow Do everything in your power to arrive at the decided hour And yes! it is always better late than never Take cuation no man knows when his end will come Wisdom says take heed to my words For they will prolong your life on earth A man has said it is better safe than sorry' Well the one speaking says " If it ain't worth it don't take the risk" And when a good woman is in an impossible situation Come quick and never tarry Boast to no one For it is a matter of discretion Respect Authurity For your Freedom is worth more than a Kings ransom Be ready to answer any man who questions you Just be aware he is trying to trip you with his words Violence should always be your last resort Im telling you you must really be creative God is not a deadend He is the way out of them
