don't eat with your mouth full, etc.

you've

been a careful man.

you've followed the straight

and narrow

path.

you've paid your taxes,

and obey

the traffic

lights and signs as best

you can.

you're an honest

and hard worker.

you've saved up for those

rainy days.

you've made

your bed on occasion,

put away your clothes

and dishes.

you've tried not to hurt anyone.

when you say you're going

to be somewhere,

you make sure

you're on time.

you watch your step,

your p's and q's.

you've tried to be a good

person despite

what others may think of you.

you've tried

to live a good life

as if your mother is 

still watching from behind.
