Sometimes it's important to reflect on life's lessons.
look and smell my best, to look
like a million bucks with or without
the help of AVON or cosmetic surgery.
My mother taught me well; that a clean
house leads to a peaceful mind,
that more fights erupt over stacks
of dirty dishes than almost anything else.
My mother taught me well; to be calm
in the face of disaster, one could always
cry later, it accomplished nothing.
My mother taught me well; that
loving people was more important
than what they did wrong or the mean
things they said to you.
