What To Teach Your Children
WHAT TO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN
Do not lament to your ward about
The dark cloud that blocks your sky,
Let them see it as a peg that draws you
Closer to the topmost of your victory. Never
Should you tell the tales of your tears
and angush to your child, for he is going
To see every shadows as an escape to death.
Do not show the scar of joy behind your hand
To your kid. He is going to build a wrong
Sense of every barking black dogs. Shall
He take them for monsters from the hell.
Sing your children the songs of humanity
Not the dirges of hatred that
erupt every single screeching of
the moon from mind.
Read the story of beautiful life to their ears
Let them feel the reliance breezes of the Eden
While they are alive.
Preach affection manuscript to their hearts,
and with wits of it, their hearts become more tender.
Show them the world where a sun
Radiate the lands than the one that
Burns your scalps and shrink you for sweats.
Teach them love and smile.
Teach them to have both in their lives.
D.O Ismail
