WHOSE TO DECIDE
 
Whose to decide what is best for you?
As a growing up child, your parents do.
When are things not up to the mark?
You find out when you can`t go to the park.
This is when you feel so sad and blue.

Some parents are too strict in teaching.
With their harshness, they are not reaching.
If things are not perfect, they nag.
You are discouraged when you lag.
Their expectation, you are never reaching.

Where children are raised in a happy home,
They are loved and less likely to roam.
But they too are expected to make the mark.
They have more fun and play in the park.
They have a better chance for a happier dome.

A wayward person is the one without a mark.
He or she is unpredictable of where to park.
They can`t decide when to go nor when to stay.
Losing their direction, they don`t know the way.
So they blunder through life, alone in the dark.
