Mother Please By Richard Maxfield 3-9-2000 From the time I was a child You did your best to teach Taught me fire was hot And placed it out of reach You showed me how to share And to make new friends Its how we play the game Matters not who wins By your example how People I should treat Taught me to clean the house And keep myself real neat Taught me like a man to stand And the proper way to talk Set my feet on the path of life And showed me how to walk Showed me how to respect Be a man who cares To be a person who is real And not to put on airs Mother please there is one thing I really need to know You taught how to love Not how to let it go Copyright #RM99R4 |

unfortunatly,though it pains them, parents know there are things that we have to learn on our own...I still haven't found a way to let an old love totally go...The pain just fades and lessons under skin and something or someone else usually helps to take the place...life continues and sometimes you realize for the best..beautiful, beautiful poem here I sooooooooo enjoyed!!!!!!!!! |

MaxTec~ This speaks softly of the lessons that can be taught ... 'You taught how to love Not how to let it go' Some lessons we have to learn by ourselves. A thoughtful write. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

A mother can teach you to walk, learn you the first words to talk and the first step was on mothers hand she whipes your tears and understand she always guide you with advice and ease the pain, wishing you the best be there for you is all she can do but to let go love, can only done by you.

"You taught how to love Not how to let it go" Mother also said, that girl was not for you. Now the girl is gone and your blaming mom!!!!! |
