Mother Please
By Richard Maxfield
3-9-2000

From the time I was a child
You did your best to teach
Taught me fire was hot
And placed it out of reach

You showed me how to share
And to make new friends
Its how we play the game
Matters not who wins

By your example how
People I should treat
Taught me to clean the house
And keep myself real neat

Taught me like a man to stand
And the proper way to talk
Set my feet on the path of life
And showed me how to walk

Showed me how to respect
Be a man who cares
Be a person who is real
And not to put on airs

Mother please there is one thing
I really need to know
You taught how to love
Not how to let it go
