My Child, My Heart

Child of mine
My promise to you
Is to help you through life
In all that do
I myself am young, indeed
But I will provide you with what you need
To grow and learn
And watch and see
And when you are done 
I will set you free 
My love for you has already begun
All my life it will never be done
Nor will it reach a limit
Or max itself out
I'm just realizing what true loves about 
My promise to you
Is I'll love you too much
I'll be upset when you don't keep in touch
And tell you what you can and can't do
Cheer louder than anyone the whole way through
Expect you to listen to what I say
Do your homework before you play
Eat your veggies 
And always remain calm
Basically I promise to be your Mom

No child can grow up healthy without a beautiful sensitive mom nearby, I am sure your promise will hold and your child blossom. Lacy, thanks for sharing
