NPWM2020 Contest Poem#4: What I Want to Learn

I pray for my parents to know
what to teach me as I grow.

like

how to be kind
in a world where
it is hard to find

how to have grace
in every problem
I must face

how to persevere
during times when
there is so much fear

how to be fair
even if the world
does not care

and most importantly

how to give
myself and others
the love we all need

I am excited to meet everyone.
Please wait until I’m done.
