Day 151

My children

If I have children,
And someday I hope I do,
I don't want them to be like me.
I want them to be strong and unyielding
Like my grandmother.
I want them to love and put others before themselves
Like my mother.
I want them to enjoy the little things and always know when to act like children
Like my brother.
I want them to be themselves and not ever care what others think.
I want them to be courageous.
I want them to be strong-willed.
I want them to be...

All the things that I cannot easily be.
