I am your baby…just born yesterday…I have all my fingers…all of my toes
and even though I can’t talk yet…here are 10 things I’d like you to know.
You will receive a lot of good and bad advice…
you won’t always be able to tell them apart
so the first thing I have to tell you….
is to trust yourself and follow your heart
Please…never call me stupid or I might end up feeling that way.
protect me….keep me safe and warm…life will be more appealing that way
And don’t be alarmed if I get hurt…when I bruise…be there to soothe and numb it…
remember your job is to help me learn about life…
not to keep me protected from it
Mistakes are just a part of who I am…and in my life they will be interspersed
So if you want me to believe in myself…
you must believe in me first.
I will be a child for a while…so be forgiving and patient with me
even the times when I make it difficult for you to be the parents you imagined you’d to be.
Finally, remember to love me no matter what… it’s the last thing I need you to know
your love is something I always will need…something I’ll never outgrow.
So there you have it…10 things you should know…
at least I think that’s the right amount…
after all I was only born yesterday…
I can’t talk
how can you expect me to count!
