I Will Not Choose For You, But I Hope You Choose Well

You are only just a baby girl Moms' forever happiest thing in this world But one day you will grow up too And will probably meet a guy or two Don't let a guy treat you bad my child Don't let those little emotions run so wild That you forget what you deserve And end up settling for things less than your worth I promise to not choose for you But mom wish that you will choose well My darling child you will fall in love But pray for a guy from the good Lord above Settle for someone who appreciate you And making you happy is what he wants to do Don't lose your voice in this thing called love Don't ever feel like you're not good enough Find your voice and stand up for what's right Fight for your heart with all your might I promise Mom will not choose for you But Mom hope that you will choose well Go after the things you always wanted But not a guy who take you for granted Love him, but not if you have to long to be loved My child pray for a guy from above Even if your little heart should break one day Don't hang on to things not worth the stay You can come to mom and pour out your heart And together we'll pray for a good guy from God Mom promise to not choose for you But mom hope that you will choose well I hope you will make the right choices in life That to a good husband you'll one day be wife A forever kind of happiness and being treated well Not with a guy making you feel you can't be yourself There is a chance that your little heart may break Mom can't promise that life is a piece of cake But you can come to mom and pour out your heart Together we'll pray for a good man from God Mom promise to not choose a guy for you But mom pray that you will choose well Don't just give away your heart Of your entire body it's the most fragile part You don't have to keep your heart forever But open it to a guy to whom your heart matter You are exceptional and worth all the love From the guy you prayed from the good Lord above One thing that will make you sad Is if you settle for a guy who treat you bad Mom promise to not choose a guy for you But my love mom hope you'll choose well *Dedicated to my 11 month old daughter who will one day fall in love*

Ahh such a lovely poem this is, it keeps me smiling all the way from the beginning till the very end, your this poem tells us about the love of a mother, that all she wants for her children is to see them happy and smiling, your line " I will not choose for you but hope that you choose well" says alot, of course every girl deserves a nice guy and I do pray for your daughter that when her time will come, she will definitely meet a prince who will respect her and keep her happy, good luck

Thanks a mil Jan for your lovely comment. As parents we wish for our kids to always be happy, but because of the crazy world we live in, one cannot always spare them heartache, but can only teach them the valuable lessons in life hoping and praying that they will make the right choices and that is why parents always need to go on their knees and pray for our children.we live in a cruel world and sadly our children are not spared from it. Good to hear from you again. Biggest Hugs and love :)
