Mother's Wisest Words

It wasn't dad who giuded me down my path when storms suddenly raged, it was sweet mom indisputably... I ran to those warm arms and felt very loved! And these are some of mother's wisest words I still reflect on, " Son, don't do foolish things...avoid them." They warned me of dangers around blind corners... and would I have been so safe, If I handn't heeded them? Any other son would have shunned them with resentful ingratitude, laughed hard at his mother and headed for the wrong road leading to disaster...as my buddies did, not foreseeing its magnitude; yes, mother's wisest words were as shining as a warrior's sword! No disgrace has ever befallen me by honoring them with dignity and they never shook my confidence, but made me stronger; how fortunate and happy I am to have heard them, never surrendering them to foolishness, but refreshing their memory! .
