In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Not for Thee.”

Not for Thee

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received that you wouldn’t give to anyone else? Why don’t you think it would apply to others?

A sweet girl twenty

So innocent and naive

Oblivious to the world

But she knew how to behave

Was shown a guy by her parents

They wanted to marry her off

Not once she objected

She knew she was tough

And  today she is happy

That she listened to her parent’s advice

For the man was her knight in shining armour

And she was his beloved wife

Not many want to marry young

But my life has been lovely

That advice sure worked for me

But maybe it’s not for thee
