A Message to my Children
I pray that you make mistakes
And when you make those mistakes I hope you’re aware that you’re making them
Sooner than later
This way that you can learn
And teach your children
Maybe even a friend
Maybe your spouse
Mistakes are a part of growth
And growth is a choice
You can choose to grow
Or you can choose to stay the same
Either way
At one point of your role as a parent
You will be looked at to blame
“You did this, so that’s why I am the way that I am“
When the fact of the matter that simply isn’t true
The mistakes that your parents make are for you to learn from
To realize that you have a choice to break the cycle
Or to repeat the past
I hope one day the blame you put on me you’ll let go and be free at last
