To Emma

You look at me with my eyes in wonderment and hope of this bright new world you’ve come into. Learning with every sound and movement you make. Ah, how beautiful you are to me. As you grow, you know not of stress and the addiction of money and material things. You find happiness in dancing and running about for no reason other than to just feel the wind in your curls. My arms are your comfort and to you my kisses have healing powers. You believe in magic and make me believe. You drink tea made of air, and your spirit kindred to all living things. Your smile is my drug, and nobody has ever looked prettier with missing teeth. You’ve taught me more in your short presence than I could learn from a thousand books. You have kept my heart young. I’ve never been given a greater gift. I just wanted to thank you for choosing me because no matter what I have done for you, I will forever be indebted for what you have opened my eyes to. Life. Realization. Purpose. Love. Thank You.
