DTRT (do the right thing) - My mom


People say we all work with one another, 

and without protection from the winds we'll shudder.

But sometimes I wonder where I fall in line, 

surpassing the comments with a simple "I'm fine." 

Maybe I've just been outran, 

or maybe it's all part of God's plan. 

 

Every remark I endure is a sharp-pointed prick

leaving me like a candle with a burnt out wick. 

But sometimes a slow stab is better than a one and done,

which leaves no time for the blood to run. 

Maybe I need to rethink who I am, 

or maybe it's all part of God's Plan. 


The author's comments:

Hi! My name is Parker Rhodes and I am a 13 year old writer located in Rhode Island. (Coincidental, I know, especially because of my last name.) Although my piece is mostly about faith, I wouldn't consider myself a spiritual person, but I do often find myself looking up to the Lord for advice. This work really means a lot to me, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.
