Letters to My Wife on My Son (1 & 2)

A letter to my Wife on 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

To my wife on my son (II)

Teach my son to be instant in season
And out of season, never try to tell my son
To follow the "instant-this-and-that-impatient-
Generation" but should learn to be patient.

In all life's endeavours,
If he wants to gain many favours,
He must learn to wait for his time,
Life may taste sour for him like lime-
In the beginning, but it will pay off with time,
When his rhythm of life, will successfully rhyme.
Teach him not to go for today's trifling dime,
For tomorrow's abundance he will get without committing any crime.
Teach him to learn how to cry and laugh
Over hurts and pains which seems rough
But will mould him to become very tough.
Teach him manners
Teach him respect.
Teach him punctuality and regularity,
Teach him kindness,
Teach him gentleness,
Teach him bravery,
Teach him the power of decision making,
Teach him his right as a child,
Teach him sex education (body metamorphosis)
Teach him these stages, childhood, youth-hood and fatherhood.
Teach him to know people, peopled and unpeopled places, and powers.
Teach him to know people's possessions & positions.
Teach him to know God and His savant servants.
