A Word of Advice
Do not be full of yourself, Momma said,
Leave room in your self for those who love you
Whatever you do, do not be mislead
Someone will try to manipulate you
By telling you what they want you to do.
Remember, you must chart your own life course
Draw deep from within your inner sources
And do not forget those who love you most
Draw from inside strength that reinforces
But "to thine own self be true" is foremost.*
[*The quote is from Shakespeare's Hamlet,
Act 1, Scene 3.]
