My dearest little one
Your struggles
Will be my struggles
Your heartache
Sorrow and despair
Will burden me as well
I will be with you
To help you through them
As they strengthen you
As they mold you
Into the strong woman
I pray you will be
For now though
You can hold my hand to cross the street
For now though
You can use my shoulder to rest your fears
For now though
You can trust in the comfort I will provide
Because too soon
Life will try to tackle you
But you’ll be ready
To tackle life back

My little girl turns 22 next week she will officially be older than I was when I had her, in our case she was so different from me almost my polar opposite in some respects, I could not always understand how she was feeling because she went through things that were totally alien to me all I could do then was listen and try to empathise.
