Tower of Joy

darling one you are beautiful blue eyes, green eyes, brown eyes filled with wonder laughter  joy brimming with tears each one telling a story  the story  of how you danced with abandon  the story  of how you fell and got back up the story  of how you never lost hope  you dared to believe in first kisses dared to believe  in true love true friends  you dared to believe  in second chances and happy endings and shooting stars and wishes coming true oh, darling how this world NEEDS you it needs your light your hope your wonder your smile your prayers  because you are UNIQUE no one has cried the tears you've cried no one has danced the steps you've danced  no one has dreamed your dreams the way you've dreamed them  you are a STAR  that brings direction to a scattered world so, darling keep flying keep spreading your wings and teach us to see the world as you do don

when i look at you i see  your silence your eagerness  your laughter i see the habits you resort to everytime you're nervous the way you pretend  you don't care even if you do i see  how you want  to make others smile but behind your easy laughter there's a deepness a deepness i've begun  to understand i see YOU flaws imperfections  mistakes but also  love and kindness and honesty i see  someone who loves and loves deeply but is afraid to show it  even if it's there i see someone who matters who has a purpose someone chosen  and called not forgotten but remembered Beautiful one, you are not forgotten.  I know you feel lost in the shadows and hidden from everyone's eyes, but you are not alone.  You are not unseen.  You are loved beyond all comprehension by your Creator.   You are in my prayers right now, dear reader.  Don't give up.  Your story is only beginning.
