Once Upon A Time Part 1-2
Once Upon a Time Part 1(3/24/17)
Let me tell you a story
Of a child who climbed
Every mountain never
For the fame or glory
They would dance with
Each blade of grass
And coat it with dew
The sun knew of
Their special name
And the silver moon too
Yet a fear crept up
In their bones
A fear of standing still
And not moving forward
But you will
So dance a little slower
Look at all you have seen
Find gaps in unknown places
Steady your pace
You are human
Moving and seeing
Take time to enjoy
Take time to love
Being a human being
Once Upon a Time Part 2 (3/24/17)
My sweet child, you are not
a prescribed list of medication
Or a recipe
of a perfect homunculus
You are not
a recorded checklist of the ideal
I cannot show you
a list of good qualities and
expect you to be all of them
You are raw and imperfectly flawed
You are the broken pieces
creating a mosaic of beautiful artwork
You are the rainy day
that comes before a rainbow
You are a funny sweater
that keeps your heart warm
on those chilly nights
Don’t you see?
My sweet child
You are perfect at being so imperfect
I lose every sense of formulating
The right word to say
And I love you twice as much
So don’t ever change
