You can have the parents that try to show you the sacrifices you’ll have to make in life.

You can have the beautiful dogs that you love, licking your face and wiggling their tails as you enter the door.

You can have the aroma of the blooming orchid flowers when you wake up every morning.

You can have your silly grandmother dancing every Christmas, and your grandfather making funny jokes that you never understood.

You can have the memories of your old home were you had your infancy.

You can have the arguments with your mom, debating, but knowing she’ll always be correct, and you’ll never win, until you learn from your mistakes.

You can have the sweet tooth for candy just like everyone else in your family.

You can have it all, anything you want, but you’ll have to do something to show effort, and work hard to have it.

You can have vanilla and chocolate cupcakes; the aroma fills the house, and makes your mouth watery, made with love by mom.

You can have five huge photo albums with every memory of our old family vacations. You can have cheerful times even when the azure of the sky is gone and gray clouds come thinking it’ll ruin your day, but know everything’s going to be okay.

You can have the annoying arguments with everyone, thinking in twenty years they wont even be important.

You can have nicknames that make you turn around and smile as if the whole world is watching.

You can have the risky choices of love, knowing you’ll get hurt one day, but at least you tried, and gave your all.

You can have the delicious chocolate ice cream dripping all over your fingers, but licking it to not waste its tasty flavor.

You can have the text messages with that special person still open to read them over-and-over again, because it that makes you feel butterflies in your stomach for only that someone.

You can have thoughts of that prince, does he exist or not? Will he ever come or not? You can’t have everything you desire, but always have hope, because something special always comes along the way.
