Analysis of What Our Parents Taught Us
Steven Bowman 1997 (Voorhees Township, NJ)
Remembering when you were young,
When mommy and daddy taught you.
They'd teach you from rights to wrong,
Just how they taught us keeping truth.
Don't ever lie and steal, they'd teach us,
They'd keep us from unbelievable things.
You're loved by your parents, that's trust,
I hope that they will do the remembering.
What our parents taught us, never do bad,
Always do the good in life, you will get far?
Just don't react on the worse, just be glad,
You'll need them and they'll need you more.
What our parents have taught, may be good,
It may be all bad, neither overthink all worst.
When I knew myself, all needs are a should,
I need this to be glad, even if it'll all just hurts.
