Child of Mine

Child of mine
Where will you go?
What things will you encounter?
The road ahead is full of potential
Full of pitfalls and safe harbors
I pray you find your way with peace
Contentment and joy
That you will learn to be happy and satisfied
Keeping gratitude at the front
Not grasping and clamoring without grace
The Earth is changing so fast
What kind of world will you see?
I know that love is the greatest ally
In living with honesty and  kindness
In being strong and standing up for 
THe beliefs you come to hold dear
That your days are spent doing what you love
That you find honor and worth in what you do
That  you find a person to love
That loves you
That you do not lie or cheat or steal
That you do not live with fear or regret
That anger is a stranger
Child of mine..
I hold you in my mind tonight
