For Mandy

Thirteen is a long way from 46 When i was 13 it was easier and slower Things were a little less dangerous and a lot less techno but there was a time When we connected when you asked questions i could answer when you hugged me just because it was a good morning thirteen is a short ride to 21 to a time i'm not quite ready for learning how to deal with you as a peer and your choices as an adult you'll always be younger and probably smarter and there are so many things i want to tell you about life and love and what they can do for you but 13 is a long way from 46 and right now your thoughts are of school and horses and what not to wear but know this you'll never have to ask how much i love you that answer you already know
