Behavior
When someone doesn’t quite behave
The way you would prefer,
You realize you have no control
Of him or maybe her.
No matter who it is – your kid,
Your parent, sib or friend,
Nobody acts exactly in
The way you can portend.
There isn’t much that you can do
But try to understand
Behavior that’s not yours is simply
Out of your command.
Accepting other people’s quirks
Is not an easy thing
But just think of how much happiness
Their quirk-free parts can bring.
