For Inspiration.

When I think of the life you lived I find my inspiration: to be bold to laugh loudly to care greatly to trust a stranger to fall in love to paint with fingers to expand my mind to be a woman to get lost in adventure to try something new to take a chance to put on color to smile widely to be myself to create a masterpiece to start a following to put flowers in my hair to give my heart away to live in the moment to dance in the rain to live a life worth envying to explore my imagination to seize the day until the last breath escapes my weary lungs, singing its final note of the lifesong that was laid unto my heart as a newborn child with first sights of this venomous world that has shaken me to the bone in fear.
