Song Playing is "I Will Always Love You"

To My Daughter, on the Important Things in Life

A mother tries to provide her daughter
with insight into the important things in life
in order to make her life
as happy and fulfilling as possible

A mother tries to teach her daughter to be good,
always helpful to other people to be fair,
always treating others equally
to have a positive attitude at all times
to always make things right when they are wrong
to know herself well to know what her talents are
to set goals for herself
to not be afraid of working too hard to reach her goals

A mother tries to teach her daughter
to have many interests to pursue to laugh
and have fun every day
to appreciate the beauty of nature
to enter into friendships with good people
to honor their friendships and always be a true friend
to appreciate the importance of the family and
to particularly respect and love our elder members
to use her intelligence at all times
to listen to her emotions to adhere to her values

A mother tries to teach her daughter
to not be afraid to stick to her beliefs
to not follow the majority when the majority is wrong
to carefully plan a life for herself
to vigorously follow her chosen path
to enter into a relationship with someone worthy of herself
to love this person unconditionally with her body and mind
to share all that she has learned in life with this person
If I have provided you with an insight into most of these things
then I have succeeded as a mother in what I hoped to accomplish in raising you
If many of these things slipped by while we were all so busy
I have a feeling that you know them anyway
One thing I am sure of, though
I have taught you to be proud of the fact that you are a woman
equal to all men and I have loved you every second of your life
I have supported you at all times and as a mother,
as a person, and as a friend
I will always continue to cherish and love
everything about you my beautiful daughter
