Letter To My Children

You're flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood, and heart of my heart, Love, care, and respect for your very self should be your art; Care for your father, mother, siblings, kith and kin, and friends, Attachment to materials may not give you good ends...! Be aware, like nature, changes in climates and weather, Try to learn, like the birds, the preciousness of each feather; Weathers bring, like errands, heat exhaustion, and cold fatigue, Try to avoid, like the sages, every incoming driegh...! Every being, you should think, is a friend and not a foe, Small fights among beings that turn into wars, you should know; Eat, like birds, food to preserve you holistically fit, By the demon of gluttons, should never your impulse split...! Be generous, like fresh lovers, in appreciation, Change yourself! Seek, like a vulture, timely transformation! The solemnity of each creature is great; lend an ear, Seek good! Avoid evil! For correcting faults do not fear...! Pure relations, like running streams, be ever in you fresh, Betwixt growth, processes, and development, never enmesh; Love, Truth, Right Action, Non-Violence, tolerance, and Peace, Do you think, without industriousness, achieved at ease...? Friends, as costly gems and jewels, are valuable, you should know, From time to time, like a good umpire, whistle you should blow; May love, like an anchor of a ship, be your true concept, Of all, I have suggested to you, what, all, could you accept...???
