Mom, Teach Me

Mom, Teach Me
by Jackson (9)

Mother, teach me to be adventurous,
             like a diver exploring the deep deep sea.
Mother, teach me bravery,
             like a man fighting a dragon at night.
Mother, teach me confidence,
             like the president doing a grand speech.
Mother, teach me to be cooperative,
            like a soldier obeying a general.
Mother, teach me to be humorous,
            like a clown in a parade.
Mother, teach me loyalty,
            like a prince bowing before a king.
Mother, teach me to be proud,
            like a general of America after winning a war.
Mother, teach me responsibility,
            like a child telling the truth after breaking a pot.
Mother, teach me to be thoughtful,
            like a person giving someone else a new pair of shoes.
     Mother teach me.
     Love You Mom
