My Little Angel

I'm thinking about the future in which I maybe
Give life to my first baby
These upcoming thoughts are directed at you
And to all the things that I will do
The lullabies I will sing

To my little princess or king

Stories I will read before you sleep

And how I'll help you count your sheep
You are my little mini-me
And it is my angel you will always be
But mostly I'm thinking of the day that will arrive

When you no longer need me to survive

From nightmares you won't need protection

And you'll no longer crave my affection 
You won't need me to hold your hand
Or admire the castle you build in the sand

No more healing kisses needed when you're in pain

Things will simply no longer be the same
One day I will have to let go of control

And no longer play the parent role
I have to take away my brakes
And let you make your own mistakes

The future is clear, I know the result

One day you will be an adult

And of course I have no doubt whatsoever
That I will love you forever

Yet I'm feeling a bit unsteady

Because I'm missing the little you already

Beautifully captured thoughts of the future and what joy it will bring. Even thinking about it makes you miss them already. Beautiful. letting them be their on selves and making their own mistakes, while always being there for them. Thank you for sharing.
