From the moment you were born,
Iโve made mistakes.
Despite my best intentions,
I mess up ๐๐ฃ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐.
No matter how much I love you,
I will never get it all right.
๐ฐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐.
From the moment you were born,
you have seen me frazzled.
You have seen me overwhelmed ๐๐๐๐ ๐ก๐๐๐๐ ๐กโ๐๐ ๐ผ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ข๐๐ก.
You have seen me frustrated when I should have been more patient.
You have seen me speak when I should have listened.
You have seen me uncertain and second guess my choices.
๐ฐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐.
From the moment you were born,
๐ผ โ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ข ๐ค๐๐กโ ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ฆ ๐๐๐๐๐.
I will always try to do right by you.
I will always get back up, no matter how many times I may fall down.
I will always apologize to you when Iโve done something wrong.
I will always put one foot in front of the other, no matter my uncertainty.
I will never get it all right,
