Your wonder and creativity make you invincible.

Your questions and kindness are the keys.

I’d be lying if I said I haven’t thought about safeguarding your heart in a cushioned box,

but compromising your growth would be the ultimate failure.

Witnessing your joy, heartache, persistence, and love

is the greatest gift of our lives.

A gateway and a mirror, your burnt umber eyes are wide and clear.

Stay curious with others.

Continue showing up after hard days.

And keep swimming in the rain.
