Dad Knows

If only one could be I would pick you for your world is opening up before your eyes, you have many triumphs ahead, and I can only hope that the failures are few and lead to a better understanding, your dreams will take you far and so will your smarts, don't ever let anyone take your pride and self-confidence away, look for the good even in things that may not be, never allow your horizons to be shortened by the naysayers and don't allow yourself to become a naysayer, think of others but allow yourself to always see the importance in your own life, do not allow the darkest days to cover the beauty of the world see beyond the surface to find the real beauty - even in yourself, listen to advice but follow your heart and convictions, never assume that you are too great, too big, too important, too wonderful for life will be certain to knock you down, let your greatest gift be the one that opens hearts and minds, never stop trying and never stop learning for growth and change are one in the same, seize the moment but take time to enjoy the day, you are my delight in this world... Never stop caring and never stop loving.
