To the aunt.
To the mother.
To the sister.
To the women that advised you correctly.
Thank them even if you never listen.

To the uncle.
To the father.
To the brother.
Even to a friend.
Thank them for trying to keep you out of the predicament you are in.

The fact is we can listen to advice all day long.
But chosing to ignore them to be independent.
Sometimes find us headed in the wrong direction.
While having many regrets later.

To the preacher.
To the teacher.
Even to a stranger.
Thank them.
For the honest advice they gave to you.
Even if you refuse to listen to the truth.

We all have been told of trouble ahead.
If we don't accept the truth given to us.
Honesty hurts.
When they came from other people words.

Thank them, whoever tried to guide you right.
Cause someone took an interest in your life.
