life flows like a leaf on a river,
each of us carrying lessons to learn
and generational wounds to heal
Our burdens, like crosses, shape us. Thoughts may cloud our path, but in this vast sea, we find our way. My children, with their own stories to write, inspire me to heal and illuminate the path ahead. I pray, meditate, and dream of a better life for them. Proud of their journey, I share my growth and knowledge, hoping they surpass the barriers that once stunted me. I speak love and success over my children, believing that only good things lie ahead for them.
