Wisdom From The Ostrich Feather* Poem by Ulysses Cabinatan

be nice to others
for things in this world won't last forever
same as the ostrich feather

be nice to your enemies
for today maybe their last day
like what happened to the ostrich yesterday

love good virtue more than people
love people more than good cars
and love children more than good ostrich

Respect diversity and variety
Respect the old, the antique, the new and novelty
As ostrich feather can be white, black or gray

Don't let your worries be as big as the ostrich
Let your problems be as light as the feather
for anxieties will fade and dreams are within reach

Don't be too attach to your looks or weight
Just be healthy, detach to the need of unworthy praise
Learn from the feather detached from the ostrich


Go with the flow as long as it's a good flow
Be blown where the good wind wants you to go
The values you learn in life don't lose or forgo
