I hope I give you the space
To grow up and learn at your own pace
To know you are loved in failure and grace
To find strength in independence and aid
And never let your worth be weighed by your face

The world is cruel - this I know
I won't shield you but prepare you to defend yourself so
I pray that you find faith, in yourself and others
But most importantly in the Lord above

I don't know you yet but I love you so
Try my best, this I will do too
With love, your mother that adores you
