Sleep now my little one, sleep curled
in comfort dreaming while I promise
to always see you as you are rather
than who I might wish you to be.
I promise to show you the pleasure
of keeping a home and family-
and the pleasures of life outside the home-
friends, travel, sports and studies.
I promise that you will grow
in safety and comfort and that I will
share your tears, accept your defeats,
and rejoice in your triumphs.
