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.

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.

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.
