Dear Daughter : Things I wish for you .....

Posted on

5 Comments

Dear Daughter,

I hear myself saying "I wish you would tidy up after yourself" or "I wish you would think what you are doing" but you are a child and you have no real concept of why I want you to do those things, I am just that nagging noise in your ears, encroaching on your fun. I am the one that reminds you about your manners, I am the one that makes you go to bed, I am the one that wishes you would grow up and keep your innocence all at the same time but what do I really wish? What do I wish for you ......

I wish that you will grow and learn to understand that happiness cannot be bought, it is felt, shared and found.

I wish that you find your prince (or indeed princess) charming, who loves you like you will always rule their world.

I wish that as you grow, you understand humility, strength and honour and will use them wisely.

I wish that you will always have the courage to stand up for what you believe in and not to just assume he who shouts the loudest is always right.

I wish that you choose your friends wisely but know that they do not define you.

I wish that you will always have time to spend with your family and never be too old for a hug.

I wish that you realise that your sister will always be your best friend.

 Sisters

I wish that you find adventure and want to travel the world.

I wish that you always want to find your way home. 

And when that day comes and you say to your own children "I wish you would tidy up" ...... I wish I will be there to catch your eye and know you understand.

  1. That's a lovely post. I have a whole series of these in my head that I really must get down into a post sometime :)

  2. I have to print this off, pin it, and somehow remember this everyday! What wonderful sentiments, thank you!

  3. Oh gosh, I had a little weep reading this. Just beautiful. Thanks so much for linking to the pin it party. I have pinned to our board and shared to our new google plus page here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/103329336833642772031/

  4. Aww, I'm tearing up here. So many of the things I want my daughter to know; I'm just not as eloquent :)

  5. That is lovely and it makes me think of the little things we say but probably don't really mean!
