A Mothers, 'Sage Advice'

I am my mothers daughter...

The wisdom of a good mother is difficult to find, especially for a child that’s reckless and blind.

I miss my mother, so very, very much—her motherly love, motherly instincts, and motherly touch.

And just when I thought, I was staying afloat; temptation knocks at my door, just-a-pulling my coat.

“It’s so cold in Chicago, the Caribbean, sure sounds nice,” 

but suddenly I hear my mothers sage advice;

“Got to get up and get your work done, life is not always games and fun.”

Yes, temptation, always tries to get in your way,

But a good mother will grab you by the collar, if only to say;

“Handle your business, you know wrong from right;

When you get your vacation, then you can plan to take flight;

Don’t you go out on a limb unless you have something to break the fall” And so I retreat, standing firm and tall.

Yes, thoughts of running away---to play, sure would be nice;

But I thank God every day for my Mothers’ Sage Advice.
