Life never pauses,
Be fluid like water.
Roll with the punches,
Be constantly aware.

Embody strength and vulnerability,
Be a contradiction.
Do what you say,
Be genuine and authentic.

Love wholeheartedly, but,
Be careful who you love.
Always listen,
Be there, be a friend.

As maturity falls upon you,
Be graceful and remember,
Not matter how old you get,
You will always,
Be my child.
