To My Daughter

To my dear daughter,
I cannot promise to stay by your side always,
But I promise to stay in your heart forever.
I cannot promise to fight for you always,
But I promise to equip you to fight your own battles.
I cannot promise to heal your wounds always,
But I promise to make you strong enough to heal your own wounds.
I cannot promise to keep you happy always,
But I promise to make you responsible for your own happiness.
I cannot and will not promise you the moon and stars,
But I promise to make you capable to achieve that on your own.
I cannot promise to pave your path with roses,
But I promise to teach you how to fight the thorns and pave your path with roses.
I cannot promise to be a perfect mom,
But I promise to be a loving mom, friend and guide to you.
I cannot promise to stay with you forever,
But I promise that my love and blessings will stay with you forever.
From your loving mom.

Thanks Sulekha. Indeed, it was a great BarAThon. I enjoyed participating in this challenge and reading different perspectives on a same topic.
Wow Priyanka! That's so nice. These words are meant for children of her age. I am so glad she liked this. That's my greatest compliment for this post.
