My boy

My boy will be sensitive, kind & fair.

He’ll protect those who need it & empower others with his words & actions.

He won’t belittle anyone for trying & he’ll meet them where they are. He’ll know that through his actions he can make things better; for himself & those around him. He’ll have company for the lonely & time to those who need it. He’ll be strong when the room requires a presence. He’ll be soft to the lost & polite when he starts new conversations. Eager to let those who are uncomfortable, refind comfort.

My boy will treat beautiful things with wonder & interesting things with grace. He’ll make mistakes disguised as lessons. He’ll try new things.

He’ll include those who haven’t been invited & if he can spare a dollar to someone less fortunate he’ll give it with a smile. My boy will be open minded. He’ll learn that flaws won’t define him, nor will regrets. He’ll learn his way by going through. He’ll chase knowledge, knowing that it runs infinite.

My boy won’t be perfect & he won’t strive to be, he’ll be human – a generous human that leaves warmth behind him just like his mother does.

My boy will create. He’ll be encouraged to find his flow state, without judgement or interruption. My boy will find the calm in chaos & won’t let his temper prevail over his judgement. His fears won’t keep him idle.

These aren’t expectations- nor are they rules. My boy will be all of these things, many more & many less & it won’t change a thing.

He’ll go to sleep every night knowing he is loved. The rest will take care of itself.

My boy will be here soon.
