Day 30 of Poetry Month 2018

Wise Words


I cannot make you take the job you do not want.
I cannot make you eat your peas and carrots.
I cannot make you listen to my words,
But I will keep on trying
To set you on your way,
To give you the best chance,
To prepare you for the life you lead
When I have gone away.
