If It's Your Wish Poem by Letter From My Mother's Womb

If it's your wish

Call him dad,
Just as you'd have called me mom.
Even if you're sad,
Do it, if it's your wish.

Answer his questions,
If you have yours answered,
Ask, if you're not satisfied.
Ask anything, do leave any stone unturned.

Live to make I and him proud,
Breath to make a difference,
Exhale to set out a defence,
Defense to plants and trees lifespan.

Walk tall,
With confidence,
In case you crawl,
Know you're just steps ahead.

Be head on,
If you've got to say no,
Do not shook your head,
Say it out loud!

Be courageous,
Be outrageous,
Close to fabulous,
Stay superfluous.

All this I say with a kind heart,
The very same, that was hurt
This are my thoughts,
These are my options.

You've got your life,
To make your own choices,
To take your own decisions,
Do not hesitate to object.

It's been said,
'One future lies in their hands'
If you, and your friends form a band
There you are.

If you aim high,
Build a plane or parachute to take you there,
You've got the power to do anything,
If it's your wish.
