Once upon a time a child was concieved. At the moment of conception the child opened the eyes of its soul and looked upon the father and mother.
The father said unto the child, "You are my creation. As such, you will enter my world and follow my rules. You are to sing my praises and glorify none before me. If you do not show yourself to be worthy of me, I will forever remove you from my heart and you can never return to my side. If you live as I demand, you will always have a place with me."
With that, the father left.
The mother said nothing for a moment. Instead, she went to the child and embraced it with love. After holding the child for a few moments the she stood and beckoned the child to follow. As they walked through a garden , of such beauty the angels never dreamed, she spoke to the child.
The mother said to the child, "You are our child. As such, you are free to follow where your heart leads. You will be accountable to none but yourself. Follow or lead, it is your choice. You will always have a place at my side no matter how much you let yourself down. You will fall, and you will pick yourself back up. You will err, and you will triumph. I will be watching and awaiting your return to me. I love you my child."
Then, the child was left alone to grow and live.
