To my kid or kids I hope I have one day
I hope that I can be the best mother that I can be
Times change and are always changing and I may not always understand what you are going through
But talk to me like you would your best friend and I will always listen
I was your age once
I most likely been through what you are now just going through
My child
You are one I can call my own
You are precious
I will always love you
I know you may act out
But if I have to punish you
Learn from it and grow wiser
I discipline because I love you
There may be times you love me than hate me
Need me and then want nothing to do with me

I believe we all can’t be told something and expect to learn from it
Some things need to be learned at first hand
So you will truly know that when told something
your curiosity won’t get the best of you
Because some things are better left unlearned from
and left in a deep pit

To my child or children
I hope to have one day
When you are first conceived
I want to be praying for you
To grow up and know which path to take
When you don’t know yourself
Which road to take
For one day you might say
Shel Silverstein warned me of this

We all take paths we may never have wanted to take
Don’t regret those choices
For they will be lessons in your future and maybe others
Who choose that path and need some help
We can’t always choose the right path
For no lesson would be learned

Some paths may bring you
Hurt that started out as loving
Your heart I know may get broken or shattered at least once
Trust me when that happens they lost someone too precious
They will not know until its too late

My child or children I hope to have one day
This world is so big and full of beautiful wonders
Full of culture and things you never may have known of
Go and explore it with your family or friends
Just don’t sit everyday in front of those mindless screens
But take and I beg you
Don’t lose your common sense
Because it seems more like a rare gem these days

My child or children I hope to have one day
I hope and want you to live long enough to see you get
Married and have kids of your own one day
To see my grandkids and how much they resemble you and look much like you
One for you to call your own or many to call your own
One who will make you laugh and cry
Push your buttons
Or even upset you at times
But that is what happens
It’s a cycle we all go through at some point

My child or children
I will always
Love
Support
Care for
Be there for
Listen to
Talk to
You

I want you to have fun in life
But also be safe and responsible
Smile always
Be active and do not be lazy
For that is never fun except for when all you have been doing is running and need one of those days
Treat others like you would be treated
Even if they may not treat you right
Fire and fire only makes a bigger fire and does no good
Or shows them love and off balance
And show love to all always

My child or children
Friends are good in life to have
Choose your friends wisely
Because who your friends are could be your future
Some people may be fun
Some may not be so fun but more there for you when you need them
What do their futures look like?
I have no idea for my future and others we do not know until that time comes
Sometimes the fewer the friends the better
You may not understand now why that may be
But you will
For fewer close is better than many unreliable or untrustworthy  
I could be wrong though
Some have many friends who are all there for you but will all stay is the next question.
