Duty I Pray Poem by Shanika marini Paul

DUTY I pray



Tis dementing to seek the praise,
Tis depressing to envisage the trace.
Parents thou art to be a loving race
Never doubt the trust of a child's embrace.

Ay! tis true the world doth beam,
Upon the scandal that ever did seem
yet! ay! Tis evil's the dark angels will,
to feast upon fake, and rumors bill.

But! Thou thath gaveth birth to this child,
Doubted, and cursed his innocence cry!
He is but a child; doth not his time say nai!
Prethee please! Prethee I pray thee listen!

For thou was chosen to be his Guide,
Do not join the rest that accuse him,
I pray thee don't, I pray thee DON'T!
Listen, Understand offer unto him a loving hand!

Be thou a heart, a mind, a soul
Be thou his angel in deceits home
Be thou the eyes that see but hope,
Be thou his trust, and Gods blessings in store.
