Who can understand a mother more than a daughter?
Especially if she had a strict upbringing
Compared to her two male siblings,
Bring credit to your adopted family
And be proud of your birth family
Were her oft-repeated words
Which would ring in my ears
Even after the passage of several years,
Invest in relationships with those who matter
And not with ones who flatter,
Flattery brings momentary pleasure
Whereas sincerity remains a lasting treasure. |
