Education:

Mother always said that education would lead us to the land of success Mother always had away of making education fun Mother said a little hard work and devotion never harmed anyone Mother believed that hope and faith worked hand in hand Mother always had away with words Mother once said that education would make you a fisherman of all fishermen I never understood what mother meant Until I grew out of childhood and became a man Little children listen to the words of the wise Education is the food of survival Without it you will wither Like the leaves on the tree top on a cold wintery night The wind will blow violently against your branches And not even your charm or your good looks will be able to stand its might Lack of education would be your downfall So listen to the words of the wise that no longer walks the pathway of a fool I too was a child But now I am a man Mother was right Education opens the doorway to great things.

Yesterday I saw what happens when a tree goes down. Keep writing, please. (I almost wanted the "away" to be "a way".... but then I changed my mind)
