Awe and Wonder


 My dear Xavene,


May you always have hunger and awe
Hunger for adventure, awe for beauty
May you marvel rainbows and sunsets
And all that your eyes could see


May you learn to explore the seas
And the beauty underneath it
May you conquer mountains, discover rain forests
And find wonder with the birds over it


May you always awe and wonder
For all the beauty felt and seen
And my hope is that all of these
Will point you to the One
Who created all the beauty therein


Love,

  Mama

Four Years




Four years have taught us
That love isn't always easy and sweet
Sometimes it is difficult and messy
But it is what makes it beautiful
Worthwhile and true
And it is what makes us grow...

I love you my true love. Thank you for everything.
