Words I Want You
to Remember
I can barely
begin to tell
you of all my
wishes for you
There are so
many of them,
and I want them
all to come true
I want you to
use your heart
as a compass as
you grow and
find
your way in the
world, but I
want you to
always have an
appreciation for
the direction of
home.
I want you to be
self-reliant,
self-sufficient,
but to know that
you will never be
alone...
For you, my
teenager:
I want you to be
safe and smart
and cautious
I want you to be
wise beyond your
years
I don’t want you
to grow up to
vast
I want you to
come to me with
your fears
I want
the people who
share your days
to realize that
they are in the
presence of
Avery special
someone
You are a
wonderful, rare
person with no
comparison
I want you to
know that
opportunities
will come,
and you’ll have
many goals to
achieve
The more that
obstacles get in
the way of your
dreams,
the more you’ll
need to believe
Get your feet
wet with new
experiences,
but be sure you
never get in
over your head
I want you to
realize how
capable you are
and
that your
possibilities
are unlimited
I hope you never
lose your
childlike
wonder,
your delight and
appreciation in
interesting
things
I know you’ll
keep responding
in a positive
way
to the
challenges live
always brings
I hope that you
won’t rush the
future and that
you’ll
slowly build on
the stepping
stones of the
past
You have a
strong
foundation of
family
and friends and
joy that will
always last
I wish I could
find the words
to tell you how
much
I love you each
and every day
But that feeling
is so strong and
it's
meaning is so
magnificent,
it can be hard
to know just
what to say
I love you
beyond all words
And I promise
that I will love
you beyond all
time
So many
treasures await
you in your
journey of life...
And being
blessed with you...
has been mine
With Love and
Wonderful Wishes
for You
