Responsibilities And Promises Poem by Ariel ~

Today we talked
About life, school, Priorities,
The future and
Responsibility. Responsibilities
To self and the
World.
Now I’m thinking of
What you said, and
Realizing that I
Failed in my
Responsibility to you.
I have a responsibility to
Help you be the
Best you can be, to
Help you solve Life’s
Problems,
Not cause them.
To support you when
You make the
Right choices, and
Help to right your
Wrong ones.
To be there to
Listen and comfort
When others make
Wrong decisions that
Hurt you.
This is my Responsibility,
And I embrace it.
