MOTHER SAID

Mother said, be calm, angel
Don't let stress make you anxious
Breathe deep like a chimney

Speak your truth, don't be empty
Love with all of your heart, husband
Be brave and don't be a monster

Take risk, don't be a problem
Learn from your mistakes liquid
Grow strong like an engine
Shine on, be your best, sanction
