Things You'D Teach Your Child
Children exceed the doves that we were given.
They are graces sent forth from God in heaven.
Despite one's capacity to innovate and teach,
Dawn facts to tutor, given in eloquent speech.
Wisdom gained in life radiates alike the sun.
But recall the spirit of self, literacy, and fun.
Relish the moon calmly; don't let hiccups swoon.
Never let your spirit wane alike a morning moon.
Keeping one's mind and emotions in harmony
We feed you with flame straight from the armory.
Have ethics and treat all with care and fairness.
God's trust will bear you a deeper awareness.
While twirling life, don't ignore fresh food or vitamin.
Adopt care of yourself, and never drive after Heineken.
You should dress how you feel most comfortable.
Don't strain as another; clones are unremarkable.
Study enough for it, but not so much as to panic.
A fresh crew offers hope for the modern Titanic.
Never let others sway you; rather, follow the breeze.
Blend kindness and brawn alike waving flowers of trees.
Such as clay, be calm, and don't let emotion bury you.
Be selfless in the aid of those who follow you through.
We are affluent only when our feelings are healthy.
Be humble in glory, gentle in grief, glad, and stealthy.
Set aside some quiet time to pray every night.
Life will strike you with grief, so tackle it and fight.
