What mother taught us....

Red sky at night looks pretty
and can bring you some comfort
but red sky in the morning
could leave your life so distort

the grass is always greener
on the other side of the fence
we shouldn't count your chicken
before they hatch, things could get tense

beware of foxes dressed as sheep
they`re out to take what ever`s yours
so stay close to whom you trust
and lock the door to your stores

never take things for granted
all that glitters is not gold
be careful who you call friend
you can`t always trust the old

so what ever happens in life
listen to what your mother said
lest you forget her good advice
for one day you may end up dead


always remember the advice your mother gave you
for one day it may be really important....!
