Poem

Inching, crawling, folding down. Hiccuping from laughing too hard. Falling out of your chair.

Holding hands and kissing cheeks. Smiling constantly.

Running fast through the trees. Faster through the grass

Gathering flowers. Holding fast. Never letting go

Whispering, giggling, tickling, following shoulder to shoulder. Hip to hip.

Skip, hop, jump, kick. Kiss me, hold me, hug me, scold me.

Tell me the truth, keep all your lies. Follow me down until we both die.

I will fix you

For some reason this song seemed appropriate to express my feelings this evening-

"When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?


And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth


Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you"


Sometimes I feel like I need fixing. Sometimes I feel like others need fixing. Either way, we are here to help one another become the best that we can be and to love them despite the thousands of mistakes that they will make and hope that they do the same for us.
