A Dedication To Lucy - the Advice

LUCY - The ADVICE


Remember this:
From boys up to men, it’s always the same
Your heart gets broken …to them it’s a game.

Loving and sweetness when first you begin
Claiming ‘you don’t care’, they make you give in
You must be patient, you must make them wait
Two weeks or two months, YOU control the date!

If you don’t do this, here’s what to expect…
They’ll  offer ‘false love’, and show no respect!
Soon there’s an inkling of a love in distress
You vainly cling on ….till you’re all in a mess!

The rarer the gem - the harder to get…
The harder to get - the higher the value…
The higher the value - the more the respect…
The more the respect - the rarer the gem!

Remember this:
From boys up to men, it’s always the same…
They want a ‘rare’ gem…. or else it’s a game!

I agree, this should be required reading, and sent throughout the texting universe. Very well written!

Well-written rhyme poem with clear message. Easy flow, great rhymes, well-planned. A dad giving daughter this message is my hero!

Peace and God's Blessings to you and yours... Indeed, sage advice from someone who sees and thinks deeply. Hmm, but how many people who peruse this will truly comprehend it's priceless meaning? Very well thought out, and executed...

Robert: This should be required reading in all middle schools. By High school it's probably too late. :o( Thanks for sharing. Well said. oldbuck
