Life Lessons

Shine bright like the sun
But don't forget to have fun;
Discipline and education
Should go hand-in-hand as one.

Learn the calmness of the moon
Don't let failures make you swoon;
Of yourself, be the best version
With others, never make a comparison.

Like the wind, always be on the run
But don't get swayed by words of anyone;
To be gentle, or to show your brawn
May you learn that differentiation. 

Like the earth, have some patience
Don't get buried under emotions;
Help people below your position 
Without putting it on exhibition.

May God always shower his affection
And keep you under his protection;
This, in essence, my loved one, 
Is a prayer for you, my dear Son.
