Do you remember when your mom got mad, as it made you very sad. You remember her words ring, as she began to sing, "Do as I say and not as I do!" Didn't it sound like a sna-foo. What did she mean by that; when what I did was how she would act. I was just being a kid; but I ran and hid. I ran out of the house when those words left her mouth; "Do as I say and not as I do!" As I ran I was thinking; I was just being like you. Now that I am older, and kids are much bolder; I realize the past is catching me fast. Those words ring from my throat, as I begin to croak; "Do as I say and not as I do!" And I think that this is dejavue. I am now in my mother's shoes and those words ring so true; "DO as I say and not as I do." I see her mistakes, her quirks, and her perks. I look in the mirror and see her there first. As my reflection comes clearer, I can almost hear her and I lean closer to the mirror. As I look at the reflections, I see new directions. The ones she was quiding me to, and now I can say; "Thank You!" Those words she game me, with a prayer and a plea; I can now agree, they were ment for me. For a mother's love so true; I give this to you, "Do as I say and not as I do."
