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.
