My Parent’s Advice 

Don’t go around picking 
Everyone’s noses 
You don’t want to be friends 
With someone who bulldozes 
If a man buys you flowers 
You deserve roses
Don’t date a musician 
Who only composes 

You can’t climb the ladder 
Without using the stairs
Not every person 
Is someone who cares
We’re all made up different 
Like apples and pears 
Always offer a smile 
To someone who glares 

We will welcome you home 
If you need an embrace 
Go travel the world 
And explore every place 
Good friends are precious 
They’re hard to replace 
And you’ll always be more 
Than your beautiful face 
Enjoy the ride 
You don’t have to race 
Shorten your stride 
And set your own pace 
Nobody’s perfect 
So offer them Grace 

Stand up to bullies 
Who tear people down 
Make sure to straighten 
Everyone’s crown
Learn to laugh more 
And try not to frown 
Take someone’s hand 
When they have a meltdown 

Always be open 
But don’t over share 
Life is a journey 
But it’s not always fair 
Fall for the man 
That gets lost in your stare
A daughter like you 
Is so beautifully rare
Know that we love you 
And we’ll always be there!

Here's another good one 😁 parents try to do better than their parents and often fall short but not fail to be fair we hope they have our best interest in mind even though we get pissed off or embarrassed, hurt and confused by things that they do leaving doubt about our worth sometimes vowing to be better for our own kids I have a feeling that I'll pick your nose but not your seat 😜no matter how cute it may be . Parents will criticize our own parenting and one day I said out of frustration that if my parenting is so bad it must speak volumes about the parenting I received by them. But these are good words of advice especially about fixing others crowns and standing up to bullies is easier to do for others than ourselves . You're my favorite person and love our conversations I hope you're to exceed all your hopes and beat the fears of parenting when you're unsure of what to say and do outshine the parents and I mean all parents that you've known. Friends parents yours and the ones you haven't met yet

THE PATH TO MY HEART

The Path To My Heart I gave you a map. It led straight to my heart. But you took the paper, And ripped it apart. Did I walk away? No, I lived in the lie. I gave you more chances. I thought you would try. But I guess that my map, Just leads to heartbreak. A pain so damn deep, A chasm of ache. So I’ve made a new map. One just for me. No twists to avoid. It will make me happy. I’ll follow this path. And I’ll take every turn. Till the pain is all gone. And I don’t feel the burn. And I'll reclaim my power. I'll reclaim my light. And I'll finally remember, That I'm worth the fight. Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 7.9.2025

FOOL'S GOLD

  FOOL'S GOLD Never again You won’t see my face The way you treat others Is such a disgrace Your essence is toxic Your lips drip with lies You’re selfish and hateful Beneath your disguise You’re like a fungus A spore or black mold You think you’re a gem But you’re just fool’s gold You’re made up of layers But even snakes shed their skin You’re not only noxious You’re the eighth deadly sin It took at most months And not several years To see how you prey Upon everyone’s fears You find out their secrets Then laugh as you share Breaking their hearts They just laid out bare But here’s a little something  I guess you didn’t know Those others you talk to See how you dim their glow They like themselves more Than they’ll ever like you They’ll have long walked away Before you’ll have your first clue So go wear your charm And spin your tall tales The ship that I’m on Has long set its sails Now I’ve risen up And I’ve slammed the door I won't allow you to imprint On my life  ANYMORE O...

THE TRUTH OF LOVE

  The Truth Of Love Love means giving someone freedom While nurturing your bond And although it is magical It’s not made with a wand It isn’t built on fairy dust Or sealed with just a kiss It takes deep roots and daily care To grow a love like this It’s not control or ownership It’s not a silent war Real love will never cage your wings It will only help you soar It holds you close, yet lets you breathe It lifts, but doesn’t bind It sees your flaws and loves you still With honesty that’s kind It won’t be perfect every day And sometimes it feels tough But even through the hard and raw You’ll know that it’s enough So if you find a heart like this That helps you rise above Then hold it close, and honor it You’ve found the truth of love Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 8.21.2025
