Teach Your Child
Teach 'Your' child to be at times "ADAMANT",
Yet don't forget to instil in 'Him' the inclination towards "BENEVOLENCE",
Don't let 'His' values just always be "COMPLIANT",
Introduce 'Him' to refusals and the bold "DEFIANCE".
Bring to 'Him' the facts of 'Practical' World but nurture 'Him' to be moderately "EMOTIONAL",
What all 'He' does, inculcate in 'Him' the very needed "FORBEARANCE",
Fix 'His' trust, but do check 'Him' being "GULLIBLE",
Establish in 'His' mind to listen to 'His Conscience' when faced with "HESITANCE".
Teach 'Him' 'Winning hearts' but not as if "INVADED",
Challenge 'Yourself': Make 'His' presence a matter of "JUBILANCE",
Inject 'Him' with the attitude of winning for which others need not be "KICKED"!
'His Success' ought not to be on else's grave; instead should emit "LUMINANCE".
Don't teach 'Him' to tell lies; but tell 'Him' when just to "MOULD",
Imbue 'Him' with the responsibility of raising 'His Voice' but also make 'Him' learn life saving "NEGLIGENCE",
Make 'Him' aware 'We all perish', but 'Heart' is something that never gets "OLD",
Teach 'Him' 'Sweat'; Convince 'Him'- 'One's dreams always stay alive in his course of "PERSISTENCE"'.
Transform 'Him' to be an ideal for all in 'His' four "QUADRANTS",
Entreasure in 'Him' the wealth of cherishable "REVERENCE",
Implant in 'Him' the significance of the word "SIGNIFICANCE",
Infuse in 'Him' the strength and courage to face any "TURBULENCE".
Teach 'Him' to be an 'Orator' arguing the wrong with "UTTERANCE",
Inscribe on 'His' mind 'One's greatest enemy is none but "VENGEANCE"',
Make 'Him' learn others' abilities and be their success' "WITNESS",
Also make 'Him' learn that 'True Heroism' is in being your own and not in "XEROXANCE".
Teach 'Him' to smile in pain, and rise after fall,
But don't forget to imbue 'Him' with a sense to control 'His' "YEARNANCE",
Teach 'Him' well, but help 'Him' to be a Human, above all,
You, the 'teacher' ; Your child's battlefield 'Your School':
Help Yourself and Your child reach your goals teaching 'Him' the never ending "ZEALOUSNESS"....
