Money Isn'T Everything

Why you didn’t respect me, When I came home, You never said to me, Dad, hello, How are you? You are right dad, A person doesn’t deserve respect, When he ignores others, And thinks he is only superior. Respect is n’t a tradition, Society must have to load on a person, Respect is a good manner for a decent nature, That a man can learn or can earn. I never disrespected you, When you came home, You was always drunk, You were even helpless to open your shoes. I know you are hard worker, You spent overtime every week, When you came home, You never asked about your children. You have a bath without food, You rushed to drink, Comes late and have a sleep, Gets early up and goes work. On the weekend, you play with your friends, You always care for you, But never thought a child needs something, Money isn’t everything.
