This is Life


Dear my future child,

I hope you never have to experience tragedies

I hope you never break

But you will

Because that is life

I hope you never cry yourself to sleep at night

I hope you never think that your life is not worth it

But you will

Because that is life

I hope you never give your all to someone who is not worth it

I hope you do not trust anyone until they earn your trust

But you will

Because that is life

 

You will experience tragedies

There will be times you break

You will cry yourself to sleep some nights

There will be points that you think life is not worth living

You will give everything to someone who does not care

There will be times that you are too trusting

This is life

You make mistakes

You get back up and dust yourself off

You continue to put one foot in front of the other

This is life

And I will be here for every step of it

I will pick you back up when you don't feel strong enough to

I will be your shoulder to cry on

I will be your person to vent to

I will always be here for you
