Wish our offspring to have better chances ,don't we?

Stanza 3 is unnecessary add (imo) but the decision of course is yours

I don't think this is clearly stated . I read the whole poem as how do the children like to imitate their parents and that's why I thought the third stanza isn't a useful add.By the way it is always good that the same poem be read differently.

The question now is , has she got what she wished ? LOL

A, should I say, sweet write, as a Mother would, in hope that a child will do well, even if mimicking the parent.
This should be the aim of all parents to teach their children the best parts of us then watch them learn the rest hopefully with grace, Yours Ian.T

I loved it all of it :) I can see myself and my daughter she is me but she is finding her own path, she moved out last year and I still miss her like crazy

she goes to uni and works so this will be my first easter ever without her I sent her a care package in the mail lol I am a shocker hey

great poem I felt where you were taking us
