When I was a kid,
My mother told me,
Listen to what I am saying,
Because the world is not always a beautiful place to see.
When you get out there,
There will be few people, whom you can believe,
Few things you must know,
As there will be few others who will deceive.
There will be a few people,
Who will never leave your side,
They will stay till the end of time,
From them, love and care, will never be denied.
Don’t ever ignore these people,
Always give them all your care,
You can trust them with your life,
Because finding real friends is rare.
There will be other people,
Who would try to cause you pain,
They would only want to see you fall ,
Your sorrow would be their gain.
You must remember who they are,
Foes is what you call this lot,
Stand up to them if they hurt your family,
And fear them you must not.
The world outside is an unknown beast,
Full of sin and greed,
Whom to trust and whom to not,
You must heed.
The world is very cruel,
It is full of masks,
Just let open your heart and soul,
And in success, you will be the one who basks.
My son, you must never fear to try,
And your horizons you must span,
And never forget your values,
Because these are what make you man.
Then she prayed to God,
Please help my dear son,
Help him as he starts his journey and,
For others, let him be the midnight Sun.
:(
