My Mom, My Genius #YoursHonestly

I first saw the world through your eyes

It then seemed like a very nice place

But when I came out to face it

I was frightened by its dangerous pace

You told me not to be afraid

And that nobody can ever harm me

All I had to do was be truthful

In your eyes, honesty I could see

I followed in your footsteps

From adolescence to teenage

You left me free to see the world

Without enclosing me in a cage

Even while surviving on basic means

You asked me not to feel bad about it

You taught me to earn honestly

And then slowly save bit by bit

It gave me the strength to accept the truth

I found it better than sugar coated lies

But I was confused why others were not like me

They denied the truth and found lies nice

You asked me to ignore all of them

And that I had to be true only to myself

That lesson is engraved in my mind

In truth I had found my helpful elf

From the day I started writing

I have only focused on being honest

Others did not find this right

Ignoring them was what I did best

It is because of this lesson of yours

That I have achieved everything today

No matter what anyone says

As a part of me, honesty shall stay

You were a teacher in more ways than one

All your lessons came without a fee

I am proud to be a part of you

I am writing a letter about how a mother teaches honesty to her child with the Max Life Insurance i-genius #YoursHonestly activity in association with BlogAdda.
