Dreams for my Daughter

As an expectant mother, I have many dreams for my unborn daughter.  Above everything else, I hope she is healthy.  Beyond health, though, I wish for her many things…

I hope she learns to smile early in life, and that her smile represents true happiness inside.

I hope she is full of wonder and amazement at the incredible world around her.

I hope she is adventurous, that she takes risks and tries new things.

I hope she has a vivid imagination that builds her creativity and sense of discovery.

I wish for her a healthy self-esteem, and that she knows she is beautiful inside and out.

I wish her a big heart and that she learns to love and to share that love openly with others.

I wish her kindness for and from others.

I wish her peace in her everyday life and decisions, and that she doesn’t let stress, worry, or anxiety get the best of her.

I dream for my daughter a safe place to call home, and a safe world around her.

I dream that she’ll have an easier life than I have had but that life is tough enough to teach her to be strong.

I dream that she’ll know love from her parents, family, and friends, and that one day deep, committed love will find her.

I dream for my daughter true happiness; that she discovers and pursues her own dreams, that she explores the world, takes joy in learning, and loves to laugh.

I dream for my daughter everything under the sun, because that’s what she deserves.
