Advice to the girl with the green eyes.

Dancing amongst the poppies,

A field of those blood red beauties,

There you were.

My daughter with the sun in her face,

Your green eyes coming to life.

If but one thing remains true in this life,

It’s that happiness is found in the presence of innocence.

Your laughter echoes from this field to the heavens,

Your feet like feathers on the ground.

I scoop you up & your squeals resonate in my soul.

You’ll grow up & perhaps no longer need me,

But moments like these will remain etched into my heart for eternity.

May your heart grow ever bigger,

Your soul brighter each day,

And May your laughter remain pure.

My daughter,

Let nobody define your happiness.

And may happiness never leave you unattended.

May this piece of advice remain with you,

For never anything more true there was,

It’s best to be alone & happy,

Than accompanied & miserable.
