Oh, the girl with my spirit
How she laughs!
She jumps in the snow
and her eyes dance like a child.
She is like me
The way I am
Was
Once
before I caved within
and closed my eyes
and the tears flowed out
and just tried to hang tight
and survive.
Do not give up
I need you
To live in this world
and be you
To observe creation
and let it move you
To get the sun on your face
and let it heal you.
