Not so simple simple dream
a happy family
is all i seek
a happy child
with heart and smarts
with opportunity to participate in arts
a secure child
who seeks in me to confide
who is capable of safely speaking their mind
how loved this child would be
given whatever help they would need
taught all the right lessons
to fight for all the right things
this child gives reason
for my efforts every season
to study
to work
to grow
to change
i will see the world for the child
so that thered be good stories to tell
i will follow my career for the child
so that thered be a good home and money well
i will find myself a true love for the child
so that they rest well without the sound of a yell
in every way i will do my best to live life
for my future child to grow with little strife
this dream is neither extravagant nor simple
yet only tediously achievable
seemingly self sacrificial and wasteful
yet somehow incredibly self beneficial
it gives will
it gives strength
it gives challenge
yet my dream is somehow odd in the face of others
This should be the official
This should be the official pledge of mothers everywhere. The world would certainly be a better place if every child was fortunate enough to experience the unconditional love you so sincerely expressed. How true that this love is only "seemingly self sacraficial". It is perhaps the fullfilling experience in our human travels.
This title is priceless: what better way to describe this dream?
Graceful and inspiring work.
