and stretch and grow and do it all
and though I may have been distracted a bit
I was always mindful of where I'd sit
and how mean this world can be, but I knew how much you loved following me
So I whispered all my thoughts and dreams
and memories and all my "hope to be"s
And when I thought you were old enough I taught you what I knew of love
How it could hurt and make you smile
and prayed to God you'd wait a while
And not repeat my missteps
and you'd learn to respect yourself
Now that you're all grown
with secrets and dreams of your own
My hope for you will always be
to be able to face adversity with an air of finesse
and through it all true happiness
