Fearless wonder
Instilled within
Small bones.

Not ever quite finding
What felt like home.

Courageous child,
Strong and mild
You were raised by wolves
But didn’t let them make you wild.

Beautiful girl
With the world at hand
Skipping and playing
Within your own magical
Wonderland.

Mud pies
Fireflies

You were never alone
Although you felt like
It when you cried.

Chlorophyll eyes
Light bursting inside
You kept yourself
Soft and sweet
At every road that felt like defeat.

Although others never said they
Were proud,
you didn’t hide your head
Up in the clouds
Instead you decided
To live your life out loud.

Hiding from the crowd
Blanketed in a protective
Shroud of innocence
And love.

My inner child
A gentle peaceful
Dove.
