The heartbeat of a child

Am I lovely?
Am I loved?
Would you still love me despite all my fears, faults and failures?
Do I have what it takes?
Can I make it in life?
Am I accepted by you?
Will you be there for me when I feel lonely?
Will you carry me when I have no strength to carry on?
Will you comfort me when the world becomes scary or will you abandon me instead?
Will you choose to be on my side?

Every child needs a role model.

Every child holds a hope in them.

Milestones that comes with many emotions attached to it.

Most of all, a child needs someone to believe in them.
Will you be the one?
