My Child, My Friend Poem by Renee Marie

Listen, my child, and your ears shall be filled.
Tell, my friend, and your words shall be heard.
Seek and perhaps you will gain or prosper from your findings.
Do not keep secrecy for your findings should be known among others so that they too may prosper.

Acknowledge the things you see for you shall be able to speak freely your feelings.
Meditate in yourself for you are one of a kind.
Abandon evil for you shall live in eternal peace.
My child, my friend, heed what I have said;
keep yourself pure always for you are just a seedling and I love you.
