My Son, Listen to My
Words of Wisdom (Part 2)
My son, the
time for choosing friends is ripe,
First, you can
tell a tiger by its stripes.
A friend can
fool you when he growls or talks.
You can
discover more by the path he walks.
Others will know
you by the friends you choose.
If you don’t
pick winners, someday you’ll lose.
If a friend
observes danger but pretends he’s blind,
You would be
wise if another friend you’d find.
A friend
will always tell what is true,
Even when
the truth might hurt you.
A friend is
there to watch your back,
And he will
reason with you if wisdom you lack.
A friend
will help when there’s nothing to gain.
A friend
will listen and share your pain.
He’ll be
there always even unto death.
But a fair
weather friend has wasted your breath.
If he doesn’t
want you to be better, he’s not a true friend.
Like a
drowning swimmer, he’ll pull you down at the end.
Someone who always
flatters you has a concealed goal.
He’s shallow
and self-serving and playing a role.
Beware if
he’s not loyal all the way through.
He’ll sell
you out and then desert you.
A friend is
there all life to share.
So choose
wisely, son, a true friend is rare.
My son, as
for girls, your future is bright.
You’ll find
contentment if you treat one right.
A girl needs
thoughts of love to fill her day.
If she has love
she has less reason to stray.
A girl’s
world is different from the one you know.
Relationships
and emotions help her bloom and grow.
Look in her
eyes each and every day.
Her feelings
are important. Listen to what she has to say.
Don’t be
afraid to show a little romance.
Hold her in
the moonlight and laugh and dance.
Your
thoughts will remain positive, son,
If you count
your blessings one by one.
Tell her she’s
beautiful and just what you need,
Then it’s like
dancing and you’ll have to lead.
Don’t look
for things she might do wrong.
Mention what
she does right. Then move along.
There will
be days when your cup is half full.
Choose to be
positive and life won’t get dull.
Surprise her
with flowers, whether picked or bought.
Keep your
romance smoldering and the flames hot.
Kiss her
each night before you sleep.
A kiss will
remind her your love is deep.
Whisper
sweet words as you hold her near.
And the
wisest of all, son, always be sincere.
