My Elders’ Advice
Remembering our parents' and elders' advice
My Elders’ Advice
Sometimes we err without substance
Your words from afar are our guidance
As your good advice is our best cure
By being calm, loving, innocent and pure
Sure, on our path there are some storms
Staying firm we will keep our norms
We struggle, not knowing how to cope
Your advice is, we should not lose hope
Every period brings us other knowledge
Listening to our parents is like going to college
When we’re getting older no one sees our age
We should be smart to find the exit of our cage
Not to miss the time to right the wrong
Particularly when we think we are strong
If we keep our faith and don’t start guessing
With a pure heart, we will get the blessing
You are our best examples and elders
You are our lives’ advisers and welders
As you knew how to teach us to fish
Receive our blessing and our best wish
