When you're five, you tell them, "I'm going to be president of this time,"
and they smile and nod and say with glee, " Yes sweetheart. You can be what ever you want to be."

When you're nine or ten you tell them, " I want to be a star just like them,"
and they smile, joke, and laugh back saying, " We hope we won't have to put up with that."


When you're around thirteen you tell them, " I think I want to be ..."
but they cut you off and say, " We know what you must be. You must first go to college, and study."

So when you're fifteen or sixteen you no longer know what you want to be,
because they always tell you, " Be a doctor, a lawyer, and get a Ph.D."

So now you're eighteen and you're like,
What the **** am I supposed to do with the rest of my life?


So just remember that what ever you choose,
what ever you plan to bare,
make it be something that you know you'll do
with lots of care.

Because in the end your parents aren't the ones
who will be making a living out of the decision that you've done.
They just want the best for you
because they love you a ton.
