my prince,

i hope i'll be a good mother.
please do as i say (& not as i do).
be a better person than i ever will be.
don't hate me too much in your teens.
come to me with your troubles.
be kind to me if i handle them carelessly.
& forgive me.
take from me only the good.
help me be a better person than who i was before you.
grow healthy & strong that i might be there for you.
your first breath.
your first step.
your first love.
& yes, your first heartbreak.

love,
the queen.
