To Future Me
Hopefully you are successful, succeeded your dreams, and are truly happy.
Hopefully you received the care and education you have always desired
and succeeded the American dream
Hopefully you feel comfort and warmth as you enter your beautiful home
And are embraced by your family
Made your parents proud and yourself proud
Wherever you are, you have come far
you defeated all the tough obstacles
that life enjoys to throw at us.
We are like life's puppets
Constantly dancing to the instructions given
wherever you may be or wherever you may go,
never forget what put you there.
Never forget the struggle your parents struggle as they got you to the country
The country that has given you the opportunity to blossom and expand your wings
Never forget the sweat that would drip off of your fathers forehead
that working at a factory caused him
Or the sore feet he would come home with
Never forget your mothers exhausted body
She worked all day and still worked at home
Regardless of what they were feeling
they still gave you love and support
The love and support that has set the foundation of who you are
Your parents were the architectures of your life
Planned out the foundation and the beams of support
And you were the simple builder
For that you owe them the world
So be as free as a bird
But as strong as a lion
As powerful as an Eagle
But as sensitive as a butterfly
Be you
But be thankful
And never forget who got you there
