Dear Child
Dear child, in your ascent toward maturity: optimize liberty exercise
overcome dilemmas of rationally choosing between right and evil
along discernment to choose always the best against the better
be enlightened as deceit in the guise of truth lurks---
leading to the door of nowhere.
My child, be warned: Don’t wallow in agony over impulsive decisions
while groping in hopelessness, tortured by angst of imprudence
then suffer because of blind optimism’s grievous affliction
since it’s easy to be fooled by glowing vanity beam---
pointing to the road of futility gain.
Oh, child, I beseech you to keep on walking circumspectly with integrity
I say this since I love you, and I care for your successful future
once I ventured freely; you, too, are entitled for it blissfully
yet, heed to instructions avoiding blunders’ repetition---
directing to the way of peace-filled eternity.
Now child, I beseech you to yield to the Almighty God Who ushers your steps*
nurtured by His Word and reared through His compassion sufficiency
cleave steadfastly to the Saviour with faith that pleases Him
repenting for transgressions while thanking His grace---
assuring life everlasting.
*Psalm 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
