To Jessica

I want to Bathe You
in Eternal Toddler-ness
so that Innocense Sweeps
You Up
And Melts Your Heart
For Everlasting Eternity.

I want you to SMILE.
Like you do Today,
Tomorrow and Always.
May I always be Able To
Tickle the Tears Away
If they ever Trickle from Your Lids.

Let the Loving Light of Embrace
Brighten Up Your Blinking Blue Eyes
Every Time You See Me
and the Ones You Love,
even when You Do Not Need Us as Much.

May I always photograph
the Laughter straight
from your Heart.
Lock it up in a Jar
and let it Escape like Fire-flies
streaming fluorescence across any Dark Sky.

Cuddling will never be reduced,
even when your legs stretch out and
your arms Embrace Another.
If you're ever broken hearted Know
you will continuously be My Little Baby Niece.

But then. But Now. But Always.
Comes the Hardest things To Mutter.
Yet have to be Said before Society
Can Have its Chance to Run you Down
like a Sprinter runs the Last Stretch.

Please know, please believe, please never think
that Outsider's Opinions even come close to Matching
the Opinions we Hold of Ourselves.
please Hold in your High Regards the Advice
your Loved Ones Have to Give:

For the Only Ones that Truly Matter
Are the Ones that Take the Time to
Turn Around
and
Show You that You Do.

Connect with the Beauty in Life,
the Beauty in Yourself and
the type Coming Out of You.
Inward Beauty is Stronger than Outward
and Nature is the Purest of them all.

Let Ugliness Drift Around You
but Never Touch You.
That way you Can Understand its Temptation
But Hold the Ability to Be Stronger than it;
Never Succombing into It.

Never Underestimate the Pearly Passion of Love.
Yet Disregard what Comes Off as Tye Dyed Tenderness
Because You Deserve Concrete Colors,
Not Something Ever-Changing,
Not Something Simple, Simply Eye-Pleasing.

Even if, but Hopefully not,
you can Never Grasp the Meaning of these Words
May you Always Feel their Presence.
Feel My Presence.
Always Feel My Presence.

Because Both My Words and Sound,
My Music and My Advice,
My Heart and My Soul,
and My Love and My Love
will always be Around in Hopes to Stifle Your Fears.
