Inheritance

Wrote this one rather recently, sent it to my mother, idk what she thinks about it.

You come into this world
Unbroken and whole and
We pray for you to leave
The same, but this might
Not be the case.

Family surround you, to
Guide you on your path.
Parents at first, bringing you
Into the world and starting
A life and guiding you to
A path you will follow.

Friends take over, influencing
Small things and large.
Helping you choose the
Path of your future,
Turning you to unknown
Expiriences and travels,
Opening worlds new and old.

Sometime you might meet
That special someone who
You want to make your life
With and they will open you
To new dimensions of trust,
Teaching you honor and
Responsibility for someone
Other than yourself

The cycle might begin again
And you will learn the joy
Of rasing a child of yourown
Seeing the paths they choose
And the friends they make.
This letter might be repeated
To my grandchildren in your
Own words and you will
Know the role of doting
Grandmother, watching your
Children's children grow up
Passing an inheritance of wisdom
