Three Wishes

My dear Son,

If I could have three wishes of mine

to become true on my birthday,

the first would be to have a Son like you;

Second, to be loved by him

the way you love me and third,

to love him as much

as I love you!

 

As all of this is already true,

I can wish then three other things:

first, that you have, one day, a Son as I do;

second, that he loves you as you love me and third,

that you love him as much

as you are loved by me!

 

Yours, forever,

Papa.
