Virtues

Slow, child
Don't rush your life
Don't try to race
We walk through life
at even pace.

Patience is a virtue.

Hush, child
try not to cry
just try to smile
and close your eyes.
The world is cruel
but not to you
So hush, child
there's no reason to.

Joy is a virtue.

Calm, child
Do not be mad
Is there good in
making others sad?
So instead, make them smile
And make them laugh
Your sour mood
won't last a while.

Kindness is a virtue.

Righteousness
Goodness
Innocence
Is virtue.
