Get Motivated

 Mother is in labor
and then there is you
Mother never had a baby
but somehow she knew what to do.

Growth begins after birth
and before you know it you are grown.
It's time to leave the nest. 
All the wishing I was grown is gone.

What happened to, "when I get grown
I'm leaving here, gonna hit
the road and go somewhere".
 It's time you go to find your way.

Life is not so easy
now  you must listen, see and act
just like Mother when she picked cotton
as she carried you on her back.

Time wasted is regretable
Motivation is the key
Check your list and step off,
Get Motivated today, you'll see..
