"MESSAGE FROM A MOM TO HER CHILD."

I gave you life, but cannot live it for you.

I can give you directions,
but I cannot be there to lead you.

I can take you to church,
but I cannot make you believe.

I can buy you beautiful clothes,
but I cannot make you beautiful inside.

I can give you love,
but I cannot force it upon you.

I can teach you to share,
but I cannot make you unselfish.

I can teach you respect,
but I cannot force you to show honor.

I can advise you about friends,
but cannot choose them for you.

I can advise you about sex,
but I cannot keep you pure.

I can tell you about alcohol & drugs,
but I cannot say "no" for you.

I can tell you about lofty goals,
but I cannot achieve them for you.

I can teach you about kindness,
but I cannot force you to be gracious.

I can pray for you,
but I cannot make you walk with God.

I can tell you how to live,
but I cannot give you eternal life.

I can love you with unconditional
love all of my life....and I will.
