Tickles

Your laughter lights up a room
Especially snorts for things extra funny
Your beauty shines everywhere
Inside & out
You never back down
You never give up
You walk with head high
You know who you are & whose you are
You pray & love without ceasing
You don’t judge because
You’ve been judged
Your passion for your patients is inspiring- A break through and you cry with them
If you were a color you’d be your favorites- blush pink and rose gold
A perfect reflection of your beauty & your grace
Sassy and honest, your eyes betray your truth only to those who know you well
You give your time and energy to girls who need your example
You are a rare unicorn to exemplify
You’re not perfect, rather authentic and subtly real
Your green eyes gleam like diamonds when tears come- happy or sad
Their shimmer is breathtaking
I am different now- Because of you
Better, reflective as I too seek to find
A little blush pink & rose gold in my life
Everybody needs some
Never change darling unicorn
You were made for such a time as this
I love you
You are a tough cookie
Scrappy- Like me
Two peas in a pod- You & I
Day one staring at you
Realizing you reminded me of myself
You hold your emotions
Surely If you show them you’ll fold
Never to get up again
If I could tell you that isn’t true
Would you listen?
In those vulnerable moments
You’ll find your wounds
And begin to heal from the inside out
You are a natural leader
Which you don’t own
Because you don’t need to
You simply are, accept it
Listen to your gut which will guide you Along with prayer to accomplish
All those dreams you have locked up
You don’t share them due to fear of
What if you’re wrong?
Oh the embarrassment, the told you so’s
What if you’re right?
Dream & speak to your wildest dreams Speaking them
Writing them
Visualizing them
Will ensure you get them
Sitting in quiet dealing with your pain
Is something you refuse to do
My tough cookie you must
You must deal with the pieces and parts So you gain strength
You’ll need that strength
To accomplish all those dreams
Do not wait until you’re my age to realize
Run like a cheetah
Faster and faster until you can’t breathe
If you do, you will begin to release
All that isshhh that you don’t own
And begin to grow & heal from the inside
As you wade through those things
You will find your wings and fly
I loved you the moment we met
I see you
I know you
I understand you
You are understatedly beautiful
No validation needed
You are what you are
And it’s perfect
Perfect in the flaws, scratches and scars
Tough cookie- You’ve got this
You can do anything you set your mind to
Just don’t take the easy path
In the hard you’ll find yourself
And all you are meant to be
Stop running from yourself
Trust your gut
And fly
I love you
I believe in you
My tough cookie
You cherished me knowing
I was not ready to cherish back
I felt your gaze & knew you loved me
I hate that I couldn’t love back
I’m sad for you, sad for me
If only it was a different time
But it wasn’t
I still have the missing
Missing you, missing us
It is simply not my time
Not my now
Cut the strings
To heal
To mend
To understand myself
No more brokenness
It stings
Cut strings
Almost feels like
Regret
Processing
Missing
Thinking
Overthinking
Rolling with it
Returning to my 1st true love
Eyes up
I cut the strings
Mourning them
And I don’t know why
Dark clouds loom
In the distance
Sunlight splinters its beauty
Illuminating the darkness
Destroying its embrace
Even in the simplicity
Of the light
Darkness
Can’t hide, can’t run
The light calls
To Courage
To Truth
To Love
To Forgiveness
To Freedom
Even in the darkness
Resides beauty
Waiting
Darkness cannot
Nor will not
Hold captive the beauty
Of the light that is coming
Simply believe
Have hope
A little faith
And wait for it
The light
Illuminating everything
Regret already
Or wonder
My forever?
Mourning
Vulnerabilities
Uncertain path
Fear
Similarities
Already missing
Confused
Wanting
Timing is off
Regret
During this season
Of a vulnerable heart
