Live in Passion my Child

For all the things I say to you and all the things I’ve taught you to do,
These are my personal rules, not taught in any schools.
There just plain old human convictions, So there maybe some contradictions.

Take heed in what I say, For the words will be of use to you one day.
Learn to love life they all seem to quote, with there jumbled Ideology they love to mutter and spout.

So I say to them listen closely, to the small crumb I offer of wisdom,
For then they might finally have there beautiful kingdom.

I say how can you, or should you learn to love life? this is a true contradiction,
What child is not happy to play and enjoy life this has always been known,
Since we were little and before we were fully grown.

We already knew we loved life from are very conception,
So I say again to learn to love life is a foolish contradiction,
But now I shall show you my rules and my personal position.

First rule you shall see, is not based on physical or Vanity,
It’s based on changing your perspective and mind,
For your soul craves the chance to truly be kind.

Live in all of life’s passion:
Live in passion, breath in passion, and love everything you were made to do,
For when you do what you were meant to do, the reward is sweeter that be true,
look at life with a love for purity and truth.
Don’t judge any day as bad before the sunsets,
for maybe your wishes you’re still to get.
 
Learn to Thrive:
Your spirit will become darkened in this world for you were not meant to just survive,
you need to find yourself in all the colours of life, then you will truly begin to thrive.
The secret to life, well this I know for certain there is no magic answer or what is behind are first curtain.
Growing and changing its hard but it is a must, you learn from your loved ones how to be wrong, forgive and to trust.

Be Grateful:
To be Content and have the happy family and wife,
The only thing that matters is perspective and your attitude to life.
For optimism pays full benefits and a full happiness cheque,
And pessimism will only cheat you, while you’re out breaking your neck.
For it’s not what you aren’t, it’s what you can be,
But to get this, your mind must truly be free.

Don’t Judge and Compare
When you meet a worldly sister or brother, they are one of a kind, their unique there is no other.
Do not assume their life is better or worse then yours, you cannot see inside them to their scars and internal wars.
When you Judge you put up a division in your mind,
you have already decided if you will be generous and kind.
Always begin a conversation with questions and curiosity
you will discover the truth and eliminate any human envy.

Be Gentle
So my beautiful child I shall leave you with one last common sense rule,
There are people who delight in being nasty and cruel,
No matter what they say, no matter the verbal fuel,
Do not allow their words or actions to cause you to lose your cool.

For the words and actions these people display,
It could be a cycle they feel they must go over and replay
This has nothing to do with you, they may have been lead astray
So please be kind to them anyway, and it is better to leave and walk away.

Remember no matter how they act these people have been hurt and are fragile,
and you my child are loving and celestial, it is in your better nature to be gentle.

So my child be kind to all the people in life that you meet,
because I believe most people are truly beautiful and sweet.
