We are born...

We are born with two eyes in front,
Because we must not always look behind,
But see what lies ahead beyond us.

We are born with two ears,
One left, one right,
So we can hear both sides,
Collect the compliments and criticisms,
Taking which are right.

We are born with a brain concealed in a skull,
Then no matter how poor we are, we are still rich,
For no one can steal what our brain contains,
Packing in more jewels and rings than you can think.

We are born with two eyes, two ears,
But one mouth, for the mouth is a sharp weapon,
It can hurt, flirt and kill,
Remember our motto: talk less, listen and see more.

We are born with only one heart,
Deep in our ribs,
It reminds us to appreciate,
And give love from deep within.
