Child of Mine

Child of mine,
Understand the life you will live
You are my divine.
The secret to life is to learn to forgive. 

Never live in pride
Because it will hurt inside

Never think you are the best.
The air you breathe is like the rest. 

Never learn to hate.
And to change… it’s never too late.

Never take a judging role.
For you are but a common foal

Never speak in ignorance.
Nor crave for attention. 
If that was your intention
Stop now, while you have the chance.

The life you live is not something you just take.
With it you have to own up to your mistakes.
You won’t know everything…
Only something

Never lose your passion.
And live a life of compassion.
Life will tell you not to care.
Quietly you can contest this dare.

Learn to understand 
Don’t directly command.
It’s never about the violence
But all about the patience

Always have your curiosity 
And also your sensibility
Never live in fear
Despite the devils’ taunts and leer.

You are divine.
The secret to life is to forgive.
So you can understand the life you live.
Oh! Child of mine.
