Besma Riabi Dziri Poet Rhyme

While Trying To Be

Need I my dear son
Show you the light of sun
Or teach you how to croon 
Under a half or a full moon..
You seem to learn and know 
As you live, bond and grow 
How to successful be
While trying to be..

Should I my dear son 
Tell you how to be the one 
Or for you life recipes prepare 
And dare hamper your very flair..
You seem to learn how to right a wrong 
And know how to compose a better song
How to responsible be
While trying to be..

Could I my dear son 
Recite what should be done 
For you many a path pave 
Deny your right to seek what you crave..
But you seem to know as you learn
The wealth of Life how to earn
How to stand all that is harsh and rough
Craft your art from scratch and stay tough.

Victor Buhagiar August 1, 2025 at 10:51 PM This world is in chaos because we do not guide our children properly We must instil in our young that God is love and we must work for eternal bliss. Loved your poem, my friend. Blessings. Besma Riabi Dziri August 4, 2025 at 2:51 PM It is getting harder and harder to educate and guide your children as they are absorbed by technology opening their mind and heart more to virtual world than to their real and mundane world! May God help parents to succeed in their mission..Thank you so much, dear Victor for your beautiful and constructive feedback.. God bless you. Best regards.

Bill Baker August 1, 2025 at 5:36 PM A FAV for my list, Besma. Excellent poetry and message within. We really do not have a right to makes choice for our children. They have their own song to sing and are guided by the same spirit that has tried to guide us. Teach them eternal things and leave their life on earth to their own reasoning. Smiles ~ Blessings my friend. Bill, a humble poet in Texas. Besma Riabi Dziri August 4, 2025 at 2:44 PM I'm so happy we see eye to eye concerning our offsprings.. Ahead of me in wisdom and insight humbly recognising our children right to make decisions, choices and grow to be responsible.. deeply humbled, Bill, and tremendously pleased by your visit and insightful feedback.. Thank you so much. My deepest regards and blessings.
