The Letter - Letter To My Children Poetry Contest

My dear child, if you read this Feel with your heart the warmth of my embrace May your days always be filled with bliss May your world be always showered with grace Don't you forget to always wear a smile For, a joyous heart makes a bright new day Don't you be hateful, not even for a while For, hatefulness caps your heart in gray Step on your own pedal and mind your own wheel Except when you need to lend a helping hand Mind your own feelings but feel what others feel Don't you forget to always put your feet on land Don't you feel envious even for a bit For, envy drags a heart to a pitfall of sin Learn to throw your own shot and take the hit Don't make it a habit to find dirt on people's skin
