dear future daughter
they'll tell you what to do,
but I say you have to do what you want to.
they'll tell you to fit in with the crowd,
but you can't sparkle being like everyone else.
they'll tell you it's silly to dream,
but then crush your dreams like they're a tiny gnat.
they'll tell you men are superior,
but sooner or later you learn to laugh it off.
they'll tell you what to believe,
but believe what you want who are they to say.
they'll tell you the sky is the limit,
but there's a universe and much beyond.
i'll tell you darling to reach for the moon,
but make sure you send me a letter.
i'll tell you to conquer Mars,
but make sure you dance while trying.
i'll tell you to make Jupiter cry,
but make sure they're tears of jubilee.
i'll tell you to wish upon a starfish,
but make sure it's for the world and even more.
i'll tell you there's plenty of fish in the sea,
but find the one for you and nothing less than that.
i'll tell you you're amazing,
but you probably won't listen but you should.
we'll tell you life isn't always easy,
but it's a devious mountain you just gotta get over.
we'll tell you life's like a box of chocolates,
but of course the best kind.
we'll tell you to surround yourself with people,
but make sure they love you to Mercury and back.
we'll tell you must find your Romeo,
but don't look far you'll be someone's Juliet.
we'll tell you to never give up on love,
but the sea never stops kissing the shore.
we'll tell you life isn't a sprint,
but it's most certainly a marathon, you need endurance.
so good luck and keep your head up,
and I will catch you when you fall.
