JEWELS SHOULD SPARKLE DAILY IN YOUR EYES

by

(For my grand-daughter Juliet)

Jewels should sparkle daily in your eyes,

Until sweet sleep induces them to rest.

Let hopes and dreams, on wings, throughout your skies,

Incite your soul to soar among the best.

Each thought you bear should pass an Angel's test!

Thoughts -- noble ones! -- can so enrich your life,

Vouchsafing to your mind pure paths of gold!

Indeed, such thoughts can free your heart from strife,

Vacating low lures eager to take hold,

In hidden spots of virtue, hot and cold....

All through your life, such thoughts can show the way,

Nirvana being the place to which they lead.

Be well aware the best can go astray,

Lured, beyond noble thought, to baseless creed!

O may the heavens guide your word and deed!

Observe true self-respect in all you do.

Mark jest or duty with pride's precious aim.

Feast with your friends -- the ones who care for you.

In all that matters, they'll enhance your name.

Enlist their aid, my dear, and share the fame.

Love that is sure and true is hard to find,

Despite a fervent longing in the soul!

Attest to all Love's treasures in your mind!

Unfettered by despair, that'll keep you whole!

Given such love, stay kind; be in control....

Untouched by vain regrets, sleep well at night.

Sleep, with your mind at ease, devoid of cares.

Trust that your life will be long years of Light,

Each day, of wholesome joy; none in arrears!
