I See My Mum and Dad

When I’m a mother, I’d teach my son to treat ladies right, that their tears flow easily but with reason, that chivalry matters and to make his wife breakfast in bed on their anniversary.

When I’m a mother, I’d teach my daughter that men are for women and boys are for girls but don’t stick with a boy longer than she should. Boys are for kisses and men are for babies. That she must treasure her youth and cherish her dignity.

When I’m a mother, I’d let their daddy know our children are forever and our relationship must be sustained for them and we will never have to tell them a heartbreaking decision that will separate any of us.

When I’m a mother, I’d look at my mother and know she has made me and my brother and we’ve became who we are because of her. That she has been right all along that I would be a mother exactly like her.

When I’m a mother, I’d look at my father and tell him we couldn’t change the past but I am here for you now with mother so you must be here with us too.

So we can grow old together. Not just with my children’s daddy but with you and mother too.
