A Letter To My Wife For My Son (1) by Drgen(m): 10:34pm On Aug 23, 2010 |
A letter to my Wife for my Son (1) My sweet, sweet Darling You know I’ll never be hireling To you and my beautiful little angels But I’ve tried to living the life of evangels. I don’t know when I will steady back But make sure that my little lambs lack- Nothing in this life. Teach them the right track To follow, in order not to end in a wreck. Teach my son that being a man Is more than having a macho frame, It is borne from the heart of humans Who have brave hearts that gained fame, Not from the three dimensional realm But from the fourth dimensional realm. Teach him to be content with what- Life offers him. Someday, men will duff their hats- To honor him. Tell him that success is a journey, The day he stops moving he’ll miss honey. Which is more satisfactory than money. The word will make him keep away from sin. or sin will keep him away from the word . teach him to stand on the truth And never allow anybody despise his youth. Don’t make my son be addressed as an uncouth Individual in the society of polished diamond; But help me polish him, I will always be proud of him. Teach him to sift out immoral- Thoughts by the sieve of reason between the moral and Amoral. Don’t always shield him away from evil Teach him to use the light to fight the devil Don’t send his bad friends away, But teach him how to avoid their evil ways. Teach him the power locked in the Internet and books, And how to fetch it: for enviable looks; He will attract from the intellectuals, It has nothing to do with rituals. Teach him to know himself. Teach him to clear the shelf- Of his mind and heart from fear: But only God to reverently fear; He’s my special Child. ©Genesis 13/12/99 For more poems visit www.drgenesis.com/poetry.htm 1 Like |
