Dear Son

My letter to my son offering a few words of advice as he grows into a man.

Dear Son,

This is what your future holds...

Extreme success and highly recognized
For all that you accomplish
from the obstacles you shall overcome
'cause to be great is how we all were designed

This is how you will be raised…

Not according to the “book” way, but by my way.
Each and Everyday,
I will teach you something new
after the local morning news

So listen to me as I teach,
And each day
this is what I preach…

Your desires
Your dreams and your goals
rest in your hands
reach for it all
ignore your inner Demond

Grow up to be a family man
and in the end you'll be above it all
The sky is the limit but you must commit.
Know your every limit 'cause you could lose it
all in one minute

Don’t you ever forfeit
Son, don’t you dare quit or ever say, "I can't."
Reach for the stars and touch the moon and you're dreams will come true
Son, I promise you!,
Don't Quit until your completely content.

Love, Mom
