Life Story

I sat down to write you a letter
Hoping it would make everything better
All I accomplished was to sit and cry
Yet, I wrote, don't know why
For parents, there are no written rules
No training, no guidance, no schools
Most tackle the task with good intention
Nature meant well with this parent invention
I was so excited when we created you
My head filled quickly with what to do
Envisioning what would be in your future
Writing your story as if I was the author
Seems I went too far in the story line
Nothing hoped for turned out so fine
Sometimes parents raise too high life's bar
Expect too much, carry it too far
Children shouldn't have to live up to dreams
Life and fate have their own set of schemes
Our parents, their parents, all had a plan
So it has been since the beginning of man
As parents, we forgot the one basic truth
You are an individual, human, our youth
Our job is to pass on dreams, hope, ideals
Your job is to be what your future reveals
These words I write help me understand
The answer flows quietly from my hand
It's very simple; my heart it disarms
Life is the child you cradle in your arms
