The Thoughts of
A Mother
To all you young people
of the hood!
Just stop one time to think, if you would
About the love and joy a mother feels
When her child learns of their own free will
The joy doesn't top, once a child is grown;
But becomes more aware of right and

So stop young people all around!
Stop the wars in your town
top the har h words you say to one'

Don't let it come to a tragic end
Please, Plea e, learn to walk away;
Instead of saying here they layl
