I knew it was profound advice

Daily writing prompt
What’s the most profound piece of advice you’ve been given? Did you take it?

I knew it was profound advice,

And to listen to it I should not think twice,

But in truth there was so much of it,

That I’d start to follow and then forget a bit,

It came from many sources and all with claims,

Some were honest and some had spurious aims,

Be good, don’t talk too much, or sing out loud,

For heavens sake don’t be part of that crowd!

But I realised very early on,

Particularly when mum and dad had gone,

When push came to shove and decisions had to me made,

It was up to me to make the grade,

And from that knowledge I thought best,

That in truth Frank said it better than all the rest,

To progress and learn each and every day ,

That the best option was to do it “My Way”.
