Poem
A young woman stumbled upon a genie in a bottle The genie said "now choose wisely your words" as the young woman wished to become a model She never did give anymore details She was once fast moving and now had no wind in her sails She longed for a life of leisure, fortune and fame Be careful what you wish for as life's not a game She became a model boat You guessed it..she sinks instead of floats Rubbed up against buried treasure beside the fish Twas the genie once more and a chance to make her second wish As the sun cast upon the water Reflections revealed images of her very own daughter How could she be too blind to see Her choices alter her childs existence that came to be Her words came steady and swift Life suddenly had whole new meaning as she pondered over its most precious gift For my dearest little love I am who I am because of you My love for you will always ring loudest, this will always be true Oh how I do enjoy riding my own waves on the tide Watching her take great stides of her own, I take even greater pride There was much to be learned in my time as a boat No matter how rough the waters have been, I've always managed to stay afloat When life gets hard we must not change who we are or our reflection We must stay true to ourselves as we set course in search of a better direction What matters most in life can't be compared to possessions You must work hard no matter your profession You see genie, I was happiest just simply being me I wish to be myself again genie and for my final wish..I wish to set you free For my children, genie I wish to set the bars high I always want them to love who they are and be themselves as they spread their wings and fly
