One Day

One day, with these small hands I will forge the future. One day, with my small feet I will walk for miles and miles just like you taught me. One day, with this small mouth I will say things, oh so sweet and try not to say the bad. One day, I will stray from you and from all you have taught me. One day, I will realize I make mistakes and will apologize for my ignorance. One day, this small child you see will grow and make you proud. One day, I will find love and start a life of my own. One day, I will have children and teach them all you have taught me. One day, I will hold your hand like you held mine through all of the heartache. One day, I will carry you as you did me when I was but a child. One day, but through it all never forget, I am forever your loving child.
