The Gift

May you be blessed with a child…

Who defies you

So you learn to release control,

With one who doesn’t listen

So you learn to tune in,

With one who loves to procrastinate

So you learn the beauty of stillness,

With one who forgets things

So you learn to let go of attachments,

With one who is extra-sensitive

So you learn to be grounded,

With one who is inattentive

So you learn to be focused,

With one who dares to rebel

So you learn to think outside of the box,

With one who feels afraid

So you learn to trust the universe.

May you be blessed with a child…

Who teaches you

That it is never about them 

And all about you.
