For so long I’ve wondered what you would love and be like that I couldn’t help but wonder what kind of mother I would be as well. Would I be stern, comforting, forgiving, loving and understanding? Can I tolerate mistakes and know how to teach you right from wrong and what is correct? Can I fix a skinned knee, mend a broken heart, comfort you while you cry, love you enough, hold you closely without being overbearing? Will I be able to show you enough compassion, love, trust, faithfulness, honesty, sincerity, forgiveness and hope to mold you into your own strong person? Can I show restraint for the love that breaks your heart as I know how it feels and that it is bound to happen? When you come to me in tears and with sorrow, can I be ok with knowing I can’t correct it every time? And when the time has come for you to leave our home, can I let you go when I’ve waited so long to hold you close? Oh child of mine, I have loved you since we started trying for you. I pray you never have to deal with the pains that we have when it comes time for you to start a family. I pray that your heart’s desires will come true. I pray to be able to make it to the day when you will have your children and you can understand the love that runs within me for someone I have yet to see. I will always love you, hear you out, be there for you, catch you if you fall, cheer you in your praise, cry with you in your sorrow. I can not wait to see what kind of mother, grandmother and friend I will be.
