I am not limited by any past thinking. I choose my own thoughts with care. I constantly have new insights and new ways of looking at the world. I am willing to change and grow.

White hot flames forgive as she secretly cries.
Eager to feel it, eager to sting,
Preferring pain to not a fucking thing.

Treat the rogue wind as a friend to gracefully soar.

I gently kiss your head and cheek.
I count your little fingers and toes;
I memorize your eyes and nose.
I linger at your nursery door,
Awed each day I love you more.
Through misty eyes, I dim the light,
I whisper, "I love you" every night.
I loved you from the very start,
You stole my breath, embraced my heart.
