A Parent’s Letter
You’re still a part of me

Your choices in life are so different,
From what I would have chosen for you,
I dreamed so many dreams for you then,

Before you were born I wanted your life to be perfect,
And I guess I forgot whose life and future I was,
I guess I forgot they were my dreams not yours,
You have learned so many things the hard way,
But I guess that’s the only way you know to learn.

I want you to know that even though this happens,
You have chosen your own path to follow,
I will always be there to love and support you,
I know I won’t always agree with you in life,

But l also know that I love to let you figure out,
Things out on your own, it’s hard to let go,
You’re my child no matter how hard you seem,
And it’s hard to let you make mistakes,
But I know you are a strong and capable person,

And in the end, you will triumphantly find your way out,
Because even though you are on your own,
You will still be a part of my love and soul
You are my rainbow on a cloudy day.

Ends
