We are born with two eyes in front
because we must not always look behind,
but see what lies ahead beyond ourselves.

We are born to have two ears
-one left, one right
so we can hear both sides,
collect both the compliments and criticisms,
to see 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.
