No Pressure

dear grandson,
little do you know
your every decision
will form your character
result in consequences
and pave your path in life

little do you know
your every decision
the role models you seek
will have an impact on your life
and determine your destiny

little do you know
no matter what
i’ll always be
watching over you

Good one, Line, I try to instill those words in my grandchildren and hoping they hid to those words of wisdom. We try to protect them, but we know they will always pick the way it is going to knock them down to learn on their own.

I imagine he will soon know the last part. For I knew it.
