Remind me to take instruction
From the antonym of him
To take my teachings from
The supposition of a fact
Remind me to teach myself to learn
From the better part of man
Someone who can read and write
Who has a lesson plan
Remind me ne’er to listen
To the man who can’t himself
Remind me to leave his book
Hidden from the shelf
Remind me to ignore the man
Who’ll beseech at any cost
Who lectures, says it’s my way
Or the highway will be lost
Remind me to be thankful
For what I could go without
Remind me to welcome lost souls in
When others shut them out
Remind me ne’er to err on caution’s side
Hesitant, I stay
I should be enticed to wonder
To see the sunlight in the day
Remind me to cherish
What I never thought I’d love
To see peace at time of war
To welcome and betroth
Teachings and instruction
From the synonym of her
The antonym of ‘I know best’
Is the teacher who tells me;
‘As you were.’
and please and exactly then when I forgot
To respect the worst in this world,
Thanks be to you for no-otherwise and reminding me instantly
To perceive The great best in each and every of your word. Amen.
