Your Life Poem by Randy McClave

Your Life



Be like some other;
But, please do not be like your mother,
Do not do the things that she does
Just because of admiration, or even because of love.
Do not smoke or drink because she says you can
And don’t ever believe that you must cheat on a man,
Be truthful and honest and always be caring
And remember this: Your mother will be glaring.
Do not hate, just because to you it was taught
Truth and honesty should always be sought,
Never say, or believe that you should never pray
And never stop believing because your mother says it's okay.
Her mother, your grandmother did the very same thing
She drank and she lied and she shamed her wedding ring,
Then she blamed her problems in life on another as her trait
So, I implore you, do not let their virtues also be your fate.
Take the path that you want to walk
And don’t ever take her path or admire her talk,
She gave you life, which is happy and true
But, now your life it is not hers; It belongs only to you.
