From the moment you were born,
Iβve made mistakes.
Despite my best intentions,
I mess up ππ£ππ πππ ππ£ππ πππππ.
No matter how much I love you,
I will never get it all right.
π° ππ πππππ.
From the moment you were born,
you have seen me frazzled.
You have seen me overwhelmed ππππ π‘ππππ π‘βππ πΌ πππ πππ’ππ‘.
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.
π° ππ πππππ.
From the moment you were born,
πΌ βππ£π πππ£ππ π¦ππ’ π€ππ‘β ππ£πππ¦ ππ’πππ ππ ππ¦ πππππ.
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 Iβve 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,
ππ’π‘ πΌ π€πππ πππ€ππ¦π ππππ π‘ππ¦πππ.
π° ππ π ππππππ.
