For A Favorite Granddaughter

 Never love a simple lad,
Guard against a wise,
Shun a timid youth and sad,
Hide from haunted eyes.


Never hold your heart in pain
For an evil-doer;
Never flip it down the lane
To a gifted wooer.


Never love a loving son,
Nor a sheep astray;
Gather up your skirts and run
From a tender way.


Never give away a tear,
Never toss a pine;
Should you heed my words, my dear,
You're no blood of mine!
