To be posted on the door
of the shell you inhabit
in every effort to encourage
a bit more than your head to come out:
- you are smarter than you think
- talented at levels you can’t understand
- more beautiful than you can ever seem to see
- you have healing powers
- dance dangerously close on the fault line of generosity
- blessed with the emotions you curse daily
- your smile is more contagious than small pox
- even with the weight of the world (held up by pachyderms) on your shell
- the fog lights of your mind shine
- progressing forward
- at the pace set by the Divine
- your humor cannot be canned
- your soundtrack comes with Soul Train dancers
- love comes from the depths of your soul
- creativity oozed from your pores instead of sweat
- impossible is nothing but a hurdle
- and you loved to high jump
- sweetness of fresh strawberries in June
- a miracle worker
- and mother
- you are amazing
- and kind
- valued
- and loved
NEVER FORGET
