Morality-Contest

One is taught morals and values at a young age
But, influences from their peers take center stage
Causing a person to make the wrong choices 
As one reaches maturity one can quiet the voices
Practicing the values, they were taught as a child
And no more partying and running buck wild
Passing on their morals to their loved ones 
Whether that be relatives, daughters or sons

It’s easy for youngsters to be steered by their peers and find morals take a break, but with time the guidance of the parents comes back and the morals are back in place. A jolly good write, all the best Alexis:-) Belle

Moral values must be practiced with prayer. At least that's how I see it. ~~

Actions continue speaking louder than words so let us hope the media refrain from any more views of Trump's "moral compass!" Good luck in the contest! Aloha! Rico
