Advice To My Children

Never trust a pretty face Nor ever a sweetened tongue, Judge not a book by its cover Nor a song until it's sung; Never go by the tell-tales Nor rumours like bumble bees, Learn to listen to your heart And to others fervent pleas; Never mix with a miser Nor be in company bad, These are faces of Satan They'll leave you forlorn and sad. Get experience from others With books and poetic rhymes, Believe not who sell their souls They'd sell you a million times Do speak well of your elders And those who are ranked above, Parents must be respected You must give them all your love; You choose not your family But life let's you choose your mate, Choices will ever be yours Know they will decide your fate; All prayers are important In temples or in your heart, Those who pray for their brethren For selves they never need cart. Life is full of miracles Its magic will let you be, Kings & Queens of its kingdom Have faith till eternity. ***********
