Raise your children
Raise them well
Teach each and every single one of them
Values, morals, abomination and good deeds
Teach them their roots
The paths of their forefathers
Teach her respect for both herself and the world
Teach her obedience and faithfulness
Teach her to listen
To think and then act
Teach her to be independent
To be feminine and brave
Teach her to be royalty and know her worth
Teach her to be bold and outspoken
Teach her to nourish her king
To stand by him and guide him
To fight for him for whenever it is worth
To be patient and forgiving
To know when it is time to leave
Teach your sons
Teach him to be a man and not a coward
To be a knight on a mission to save his princess
Teach him to cry and be vocal
Teach him to love
To build and protect
Teach him to utilize his powers
To embrace his masculinity
Teach him to be expressive and not explosive
Teach him to lay his hands on a car and screwdriver on a Sunday
To lay his hands on a driller fixing the cupboards
Or the shower when leaking
But never on a woman
And allow to be provided for by a woman
Teach your children the will of reciprocation
The power of words
Teach them tolerance and understanding
Teach them communication skills
Let them make mistakes and learn
Raise your children
Raise them well.
A Good World
