Thank you Misscookie, I really appreciate the review and comments. Yes the picture is me at about four. I'm glad you liked. I wish I'd gotten that advice before I had to learn the hard way.

I tell you all the advice in the world would not alway help because we young poeple think we know what we are going.

This is a thoughtful essay to a child, written by the woman she grew up to be. Replete with good advice, and touched by humor, and furnishing her future self with important information and mantras: There is no one better than yhou are. You are God's child.

This is hard commenting on poems and other reads. I don't know how to say more than it's nice.
Sorry about that. Like i've said I don't understand poems.
And thank you for the comment to my poem "Message to Mom".

Thank you for the review, You don't have say anything. I am pleased with the five stars. I appreciate you reading it.
Comment from humpwhistle
This is all excellent advice, delivered without the sugar of sentimentality. I particularly like that you urge the child to grow up as an individual. I did, however, detect one sour note. The bit about discussing salary among co-workers seems too specific---like maybe the advice-giver has an axe to grind. While it may be good advice, it feels a little spiteful. Just my reaction. Good luck with the contest.
Peace, Lee

Thank you for the review and nice comments. Actually some others liked that advie best about the salary. I made that mistake a few times, but I've watched many other people get into the same kind of situations where it ended up badly. It is just one of those pitfalls I wish I'd been warned about.

I think this is just darling...I imagine a soft and caring voice whispering these words to an angel that is about to be conceived. Great work!

Comment from sibhus
This is some really great advice for everyone. Several things here that I think we all should take to heart, espicially your comment on the work place. This has a great pace, with well constructed writng that makes a very enjoyable read. I could see these heart felt suggestions passed onto a special member of a family. Good job and good luck with the contest.

Thank you so much for the review and great comments. I was supposed to be traveling back in time to give the advise to me as a child so I could avoid the mistakes I ended up making.

Comment from bowls
This was really lovely. The advice you give is sound and all-inclusive. It sounds, since the details are so personal and sincere, like you are talking to yourself as a child. Am I right? Your vocabulary is simple and unsophisticated - just the right choice of words for a young child to understand.
