This past week I got the sweetest request! My best friend called and said that her son, my godson, was chosen to read a poem in class. She said that he would really like to read one of his auntie’s poems, and could I please send her one. I decided to write one instead. This one is for you sweet boy! I hope you read it with confidence, knowing YOU inspired every word.
If you know anyone as bright as this perfect combination of curiosity and wonder … well … I happen to know he has the most generous heart and would be most willing for you to share it.
His is a smile full of mischief and eyes that twinkle
just so … bright blue and curious
He is wonder-filled
in love with each surrounding he surrounds himself with–daring to daydream
wanting to wish on every star
His joy is the kind that’s contagious
the sort that inspires others to be as happy as he is, like a little beam of sun
he lights every conversation with bright words
that come fast and free–
firefly words that make magic when they’re spoken aloud
He is a difference-maker (and a risk-taker)
equally sensitive and strong
What a perfect world we must live in, if for no other reason
than that he
is in it
this quotable life 
Beautiful!
