another poem from my life experiences about being who you are and doing the right things in life.

i always tried to stay away
from things that would make me stray
like smoking, drugs and alcohol
so i could stand proud and tall
peer pressure i did not give into
just to earn a friend or two
i made a promise through the years
to always keep my values clear
teach children to love and not hate
so they can walk a path thats straight
and not grow up like others do
who never have a single clue
what is right and what is wrong
becuase they werent taught to be strong
when situations come around
that build them up or knock them down
dont spread rumors about people
when you know that its not real
kindness goes a long long way
if you use it every day
