Perfect Imperfections

To my parents

Every child is not perfect, everyone has flaws

So when they're down, go pick them up-no matter how soft the fall

Your child isn't a miniature of you, so don't expect them to be

Let them choose what to like and dislike, no matter how pointless it seems

You brought your child into this world, but you can't take them back

And all the knowledge you have inside is all the knowledge they lack

Your child will learn the most from you, this fact is set in stone

So appreciate your child for who they are, and not for what they've done.

Author's Note

Too much pressure it put onto children. Let them be. Let them live.
