Poem: Be Honest
Amma will often say, Be honest all day!
LET US SING
Be Honest
Amma will often say,
Be honest all day!
Be honest all day!
Still troubles make me fall,
I want to be truthful to all!
I want to be truthful to all!
Amma will often say,
Be honest every day!
Be honest every day!
To say truth when I am wrong,
I may have to be eighteen!
I may have to be eighteen!
To Amma I often say,
Don’t you hear them lie?
Don’t you hear them lie?
She says many may lie and go
But honesty will help us grow!
But honesty will help us grow!
At last, I have this to say,
I don’t lie to this day!
I don’t lie to this day!
The trick is the rhyme,
Let’s try this one day at a time!
Let’s try this one day at a time!
