A Child’s Gift
There exists something special
Between a parent and child
That bears neither grudge nor malice
This singular experience
Is remarkable in its complexity
Yet so simple in its love.
The vision of the child
Is often what the parent sees
When conversations are dreams
And a revelation is imagination
Of ideas and predictions
That only a child can foresee.
Whether young or adult
Children can choose to mimic
Lives of the parents
But to choose their own path
Requires a will and strong belief
That they are individuals.
We have such children
Who will be the best they can
So although parents fail
Through being themselves
These children will succeed
In lives of their making.
Strong and opinionated
Is the prophecy of every parent
To give the child the greatest gift
To live your life as you see fit
Beat the struggles and conquer the hurdles
For you have the power to succeed.
