I pray for my parents to know
what to teach me as I grow.
like
how to be kind
in a world where
it is hard to find
how to have grace
in every problem
I must face
how to persevere
during times when
there is so much fear
how to be fair
even if the world
does not care
and most importantly
how to give
myself and others
the love we all need
I am excited to meet everyone.
Please wait until I’m done.
