Future Child


Dear future child,

 

I hope you are a girl but if not it’s okay

I hope we bond like no other and have endless memories and fun

I hope you love me as much as I’m going to love you

And I hope you're everything I was when I was little

When I was little I was always happy but I hope your happier

I always had a big grin on my face even when I got in trouble

I learned to love life no matter what happens

I hope you do that too.

I swam a lot and I still do, I hope you do too

But I won't force you like everyone forced me to do

I want you to take things to your advantage though and take every opportunity that is given because that is sure one thing that I was not good at

I hope you're not as shy as me although when you get to know me Im very loud and exciting

I want you to be smart and help others, but what parent does not?

If you ever need me I want you to know that Im always here no matter the circumstances

I want to be your number 1 fan no matter who comes into your life

I want you to follow your dreams

I want you to laugh at your mistakes

I want you to mess up at life so that you come to me for help

I don't want you to be perfect because nobody I knew ever was

I want you to be you and I want you to be happy doing it

I love you




 

Forever and always

Your mother
