A Mothers Advice

Follow this advice and do it having fun,
Stay focused on your goals, Don't do as 
I have done.
I am not as strong as any one of you,
I gave up on things to easy and I never 
followed thru.
So if someone tells you that you can't you'll
have to prove them wrong,
show them failure's not an option, show them
that your strong,
When you set a goal don't just let it die,
You will acomplish many things if you only
try.
No matter where life may take you be proud
of who you are.
Believe in yourself and have respect and you
will go so far.
