I did not bring life into the world to have a mini version of me
That is nothing but pure vanity
My child is not my clone
but a gift given to my family
I was always happy and content with just my husband's company
But we have a lot of love to share
That is the reason we decided to start a family
To raise and nurture a kind, healthy and wise living being
who will grow up strong and independent
That is to us one of life's greatest blessings
I did not download those Super Baby apps
and compare my child to others
or go comparing my life to other mothers
I hear women talk about other women all the time
projecting the frustrations in their lives
striving for conformity and perfection
and things that are mere illusions
I have a girl who will someday be a woman
May she always know
That her Dad and I have the same great expectations
Our own parents have for us
That is to simply be good and be happy
in whatever path life takes us
