My darling son, may you have the world at your feet,
your head held high through triumphs or defeat.
May you bountifully taste success,
overcoming all hurdles and duress.
May you learn right from wrong,
remain empathetic yet strong.
May you have a creative bent of mind,
yet stay grounded, humble and kind.
May you travel far and wide,
with ne’er a thorn in your side.
May you learn from your mistakes,
improving till you achieve the highest stakes.
May you flounder from time to time (yes you heard me right),
as true victory comes with a fight.
May you be completely self-dependent,
charming when you need to be, stately and resplendent.
May you be the master of your tongue,
by your words, no one should ever feel stung.
May you never raise your hand, on woman or man,
taking the high road whenever you can.
May you stand up for what you believe in,
a leader comfortable in his own skin.
May you inspire confidence amongst your peers,
deflecting with a smile, any negative leers.
May you be known as a person of great learning,
using your knowledge to keep age-old fences burning.
May your love for animals continue to grow,
translating to a love for all beings in the universal flow.
May you achieve everything you wish for and more,
accepting in your stride whatever fate has in store.
May no insecurities ever pull you down,
you are your own master- may you wear your own crown.
May sticks, stones or words never hurt you,
if you’re mentally strong, you will pull through.
May you stand out in a crowd,
without being brash or loud.
May the light shine upon you, guiding you through life,
keeping you away from negativity and strife.
May you never foster any judgment or bias,
while you stand confidently on life’s dias.
May you always be in the pink of health,
leaving the world when you’re ready, and not in stealth.
May you be blessed with a large family and many friends,
that hold you in good stead, when you hit life’s bends.
As your mother, there are many things I wish for you,
I hope through this poem the message goes through.
If you are a parent reading this, you will agree with me,
And share this ode to our children ahead gleefully.
For this is an earnest prayer all parents share,
That our children are happy, healthy and life deals them fair.
I’ll end by saying, keep your head held high through triumphs or defeat;
My darling son, may you have the world at your feet.
