Peer Pressure
Peer pressure can be
such a wonderful thing
If it makes you
strive to do great things,
But the wrong kind of
pressure is not very smart
If you find that your
life is falling apart.
Don't get into drugs,
smoke, or get drunk.
It leads to a life
where your future is sunk.
Reality becomes such
a meaningless word
As your world becomes
troubled and seems so absurd.
Life is what you make it, and it truly will
be
Fulfilling and happy
if you prepare properly.
A good education is a
must, it is true,
But be careful to
train for a career that is you.
It's nothing
repulsive to base our success
On hopes, dreams, and
talents as we give it our best.
It's work and
commitment…a responsible you…
That's what it takes
to make dreams come true.
So if you find yourself
tempted to do what you ought not,
Remember your goals.
Self-confidence is taught…
By truly believing in
what you want to achieve.
Do it for you! That's the basis you need.
Lorraine Nelson lives in rural New Brunswick, on the east coast of Canada. Always a bookworm, she’s read many novels of romance and mystery over the years, finally deciding to put her pen to work at writing one. “To write romantic suspense is my dream job, although my mom says I was born with an avid imagination and pencil in hand, crafting stories from an early age.”
I am mother to three wonderful boys, grandmother to four fantastic grandsons and two beautiful granddaughters. I live alone with an independent yet affectionate tomcat. Now my children have grown and have lives of their own, I have time to indulge my passion for writing. When not at the computer, you can find me spending time with family, gardening, baking and, of course, reading.
This is me. This is who I am and I'm loving it!
