lessons learned

I gave you life, but cannot live it for you.
I can give you directions, but I cannot lead you always.
I can teach you right from wrong, but I cannot decide for you.
I can give you love, but I cannot force it upon you.
I can teach you to share, but I cannot make you unselfish.
I can teach you respect, but I cannot force you to show it.
I can help you discover your dreams, but I cannot accomplish your goals.
I can show you my love for our Heavenly Father, but I cannot build a relationship with for you.
I can pray for you, but I cannot make you walk with God.
I can tell you how to live, but I cannot give you eternal life.

Baya, I love everything about you.. you are perfect in everyway. I will probably learn more from you than you will ever learn from me. I am so grateful to be your mother.
