Dos and Donts

Don’t be like the Sun…
Dawns in fame, brings light,
Sets in shame,
Leaves dark night.

Be like the Moon…
Guides through the night,
Makes way for the Sun,
A humble knight.

Be like a tree…
Always stands tall,
Showers comfort free,
No rest at all.

Don’t be like an animal…
Living only to eat,
Behaving like a cannibal,
Waiting for a feast.
