What We Leave Behind

 

Contest by Sotto Poet 

MORAL VALUES

 My Dad was my Idol, Philosopher and Guide
 He taught me to obey Moral Values in life.
 Throughout my life I do respect those.
   He led most disciplined life.
    He had left great example of his life style.
   What he had left behind, I try to follow.

  I took my life as a challenge 
  with courage at every step ,
  never tried to escape.
   I am leaving behind instance of my life style 
  to my children.
  They have learned to honour Universal Moral Values 
  such as honesty, truthfulness, selflessness, love, compassion. 
   Above all, they are righteous but not religious 

  Like me they follow only one relegion and that's HUMANITY 
   I am leaving these fundamental concepts to my children 
   in order to follow to build a healthy life style.
