Respecting Originality

I just want to know where you are
who your friends are and get to know them
regardless of background or ethnicity
or income, they're welcome here.
please no drugs in the house, your
siblings would experiment.

I'm not afraid of piercings or
tattoos or different colors of hair
as long as you realize that
tattoos are permanent so
my advice would be to wait
until you know what you want
instead of getting Tweety Bird
on your butt just to show
you did it.

I'll pay for ear piercings before you're 16
and support all decisions as long as nobody's
hurt.  Drink before you're 21 and you'll be grounded
but call me so you don't drive drunk and kill
anybody
Do drugs and I'll help you into rehab
because you're my child and I want you
to be healthy

(I hope I taught you right)

Smoking is bad for you, so please don't do it
until you're 18 because
your body belongs to me until you're legal

I will love you forever and like you too
not because you're my child
but
because you're honest
because you're real
because you will make good decisions
and learn from the bad ones

you are you
and I'm proud.

  • hehe this was a cute poem... I loved it a lot, with all the lessons, and how you're basically saying I'll support you whatever you do, but I may not be proud. I liked this a lot, it was very enjoyable. Cute too ^^

    I'm really sorry this is a lovely poem, I forgot to mention in the rules this round. This is my second round contest. Their are 2 reasons y I must DQ you. This ia a pre-write and I was sure my rules said that was only possible if you had already entered the first contest. Second my real mother is going to be my AP mother as soon as she's able. I'm really sorry. Feel free to re-enter if you wish for another spot in my family.

    I don't know if i'll get around to titling any of these for the contest or if they really need it for that matter but i'm glad I read them. You have a very unique and refreshinly different sense of style. The title of this poem says it all.

    I love this poem!!
    I wish my parents saw the whole tattoo/piercing thing like you do. I really like the fact that you are open to originality and you are going to love your children no matter what.
    Great job. I loved reading it.
