Guidelines for Conduct
Never use a harsh word,
Another you correct;
Or gossip you have heard,
Just hearsay to reject.
Talk to an older man,
As if he was your father;
Someone younger you can,
Treat him as a brother.
Older women you treat,
Like a mother for sure;
Younger women you meet,
Act as morally pure.
You will stay in the light,
Showing this point of view;
For it pleases the sight,
Of the Lord within you.
A widow should not grow old,
More so of in young years;
They need a man to hold,
As God wipes all the tears.
For God will also bless,
Them having a child;
To treasure and express,
As priceless and mild.
