Twenty-five years ago my mother kicked the bucket,
She left me her photo in a gold locket,
Which I wear next to my heart,
And her treasuresΒ Β of principles,
That work like miracles.
Truth is the only way out,
White lie can do if it does not hurt without a doubt.
Never complain,beg or ask,
Sometimes a difficult task,
It builds character,
In life an important factor.
God is above all,
In need give him a call,
Have faith,
HE will help you over the roughest path.
Never share your deepest secrets with anyone,
Your best friend or your loved one,
Who knows when?
Next time he can be your worst enemy.
Learn to be grateful for what you have,
For what you have,others pray to crave.
Stand up to injustice and bullies,
You are not more nor less,
At all cost first love yourself.

If we told a lie mum would give us a good spanking but if we told the truth how much wrong we had done she would not say a word but help us out.She taught us honesty. If my sisters bullied me she would teach me how to stand up to them I was the youngest in the family.
