My child
please understand
that my wisdom comes from
experience
and not from a control issue.
I only wish for you to learn
from my mistakes
this wisdom is shared with love.
I wish for you to only listen
to what I have to say
then take and incorporate
my words into your life.
I do not wish to be demanding
but I do want to keep you safe.
You are my child
my love
my life.
Author notes
Personally, I don't have any children but this is what I would have said to a daughter of mine... had I had one.

Sorry - you seem to have misunderstood the requirements of my competition - it was for poems about Poetry and/or poets. I wish you luck with this poem, elsewhere - but as far as the "Celebrating poetry and poets" competition is concerned, I do have to say "No".

Beautiful, short and candid piece.
Great work and luck in contest!
