Dear child,
Life lessons that matter most I tell you
as parental advice, and these are a few.
Be careful what to someone you say,
for with it bridges you create or decay.
Think of failure not as an end in pain,
for the sun sets to surely rise again.
Take small steps of chance you access
to reach in the end the summit of success.
Rule your mind, discard the dregs of negativity,
you’ll find the assured way to always be happy.
You can’t control circumstances, react wisely,
for you can make yourself the master of destiny.
Don’t ever envy and fan the fire of fanatic hate,
these consume and destroy you as your fate.
Bestow divine gift of forgiveness and move on,
feel the burden of grievance and grudge gone.
Be obliged for love and kindness you adore,
get these in full measure being indebted more.
Foster with humility the humane attitude,
for the helping hands you hold express gratitude.
Moral character and righteous thoughts you build,
your honor and image these will certainly shield.
Remember, your most valuable asset is your health,
nurture and protect it more than any other wealth.
Learn virtues of patience and confidence, and wait,
things will happen if you’ve a positive mindset.
All problems have solutions, I should finally aver,
don’t give up, and from your fortitude never waver.
I pray, God’s blessings fill your life to the brim,
my child, keep alive the devout devotion in Him.
