Little Lilly,
I know the feeling that glares back at you
when you look into the mirror
Unlocking your fears
That never came true
but that’s news to you
Those scenarios eat you alive
Yet here I am to show you
You will rise
There will be a day that you dance in the rain
Without a care in the world to take your joy away
Your freckled face and gleaming eyes
Glimmer like the dew does during sun rise
Your forever daydream awaits you soon
My dear, it’s because of you
That little girl thinks “I want to be that way too”
I want to fall in love with all that I see
And take my time to live carefree
In a world full of beauty
Slow down and feel the wind on your cheek
Watch the caterpillar crawl up the tree
Where one day it will grow it’s wings
Then fly away to remind you someday
You will rise
And the world will see
The beauty I see in you
And one day, you’ll see in me

With care and love,

Your future self
