Influences Of Others And Yourself<\/p>\n
People come and people go.
\nIt is like a river\u2019s flow.
\nThey pass through your life.
\nSome quickly, with little strife.
\nOthers stay and become friends.
\nYou will know them till the end.
\nFamily members mostly stay.
\nThat is unless they move away.
\nAll influence who we are.
\nMany influence who we will be.
\nLike a butterfly or a flea.
\nBeautiful, or irritating, or both.
\nSome can really get your goat.
\nTeachers can mold your mind.
\nPreachers can help keep you in line.
\nTake time to think of yourself.
\nWhat\u2019s your influence or help?
\nHow do you affect the lives of others?
\nDo they love you or have their druthers?
\nOthers know us for who we are.
\nTo others, make yourself a star.
\nLeave a good impression that will not fade.
\nDon\u2019t sit back, join the parade.
\nBe someone who leaves a mark.
\nBe respected, right from the start.
\nSomeone else will need that from you.
\nSo they can be a better person too.<\/p>\n
