Stay With Me Poem by Lauren Coles

Rules are made for a reason,
I know that parents seem like a broken record but the world is à scary place now,
Kids have short attention spans and they don't want to listen to the rules,
The news is not meant to scare you but it is meant to inform people so that tragedy doesn't happen,
People aren't always who they say they are,
Parents get distracted when their phone rings and they step away for just a minute,
It's a parent's worst nightmare to notice that their child is missing,
It's a parent's responsibility to teach them not to talk to strangers,
If you really need to talk to someone that badly you can always call them back at á another time or leave a message,
Screaming will cause a scene so people will not get away with the crime that they are doing.,
People should not give out too much information,
Life is short for not creating positive memories.
