An Open Jar is an Ear

Missing image
This lesson I bring you
will be short as can be
I'll do it pro-bono
for you it is free

We can't always disc
the opinions of others
especially don't ignore
the wisdom of mothers

If we know all there is
take no ones advice
A prison we make
for ourself that's...not nice

To listen to others
is all well and fine
you can still be yourself
don't have to be a mime

    ha ha this is awesome and is the perfect way for a mother to share some of her wisdom. Without souding nagging, you have imparted your wisdom in a fun and entertaining way. Rather like a childrens story, so fun and entertaining that it hides the under lying purpose, to get a moral across. Yet still manages to get it across.

        Well you did a great job so you are still a young one at heart. I know I still feel like young stud even though my body tells me different sometimes in the morning. Its all in the way you look at life.
