Parenting
Lullabies, in the due,
Lulllabies, dissolving the rue,
Lullabies, in the night,
Lullbies, that invest in your bright,
Lullabies, for the fortunate few,
Lullabies,always many,always new.
Lullabies,that mean
Lullabies, aganist your demean.
At the age of thirty I reaslied how unfortunate I was to not listen to the lullabies of love that even today shine and deserve to be enshrined.The Master of love offers this umbrella of love to the fortunate few.
Being a parent is probably one of the greatest of His Divine Mercies.Proving that,He, is indeed Omnipotent.
One can never experience the bliss and the responsibility of being a parent unless, the she or the he actually become one.Beleive me the greatest of all institutions is the instituation of marraige, a situation that sets the ball rolling towards expereincing His Love.Divorce hence is the most, althougth allowed, hated of all things that have been accorded, by the Lord Himself ,as He is aware of our weaknesess.
A parent shall forever be the irreplacable pillar of strenghth He has bestowed upon us.
I have learnt the hard way and would never want, the fortunate few, who have had the greatest of all fortunes, that the Divine has showered upon us.Hence the following:
- Listen to what they say and act accordingly, there are umpteen number of pitfalls amidst the tread to independence.By independence I mean is the freedom that you have always felt cheated of.Believe me your true freedom is a thousandfold much more yearned for necessicity of your parents.They just want you to expereince what you have always wanted to do, doing things your way.
- All they want to ensure via their full of love lullabies for you is freedom, in the truest sense of the word.Beleive me being a slave to an abuse on your self ,of any kind,shall take you faaaaaaaaaaar away from what you truely seek.
- Your freedom is in being obedient, of cource,having a mind of your own, shall help, but not at the cost of disobeying the very those, whose hearts beat with each step you take.
- DO NOT twist and twirl to catch your left ear with your right or vice versa.Instead try introspecting into your weaknesess.Or better still hold both your ears with both hands(a cross over of hands is a flexibility you can choose in this case) and do a few rounds of squats for haven forsaken their advice.
- Do not tarnish your self respect, earn it.The essence being responsibility.Time and opportunity shall respond in your favour once you have achieved the same, amazingly and swiftly.
- Learning the hard way is easier, it is learning the easier way that is harder.I know and I empathise with all those that get carried away with the flow.
- My young friends please stay away from the ways that your parents have warned you of.It shall take you light years ahead of what those who go with the flow.
- It is the inn and not the in thing that shall turn the tables in your favour.
