My vision for you
I hope you fall
In love
with many things
Different people
And your own reflection
In the mirror
I hope you surrender
to the heat
of the moment
To the instincts you have
To the taste of what you’ve eaten
And the music that you feel
I hope you climb
over obstacles
Your own and those God made
and cross boundaries
Made by man and by land
I hope you are kissed
With sheer delight
While giggling
With deep passion
Upon the third eye
In the middle of the night
When the sun rises
And when you least expect it
I hope you reach
for your goals
And your dreams
To help someone up
And hold someone close
To bridge the gap
I hope you dance
in the arms of someone
outside under the stars
All by yourself
And whenever the music stirs your soul
I hope you settle
for a little chaos
dirt. dust and piles
so that you can
have more fun
I hope you say “YES”
when you want
and “NO” only when
you really mean it
I hope you walk
with love
Down the beaten path
Into quirky stores
On treasure hunts
Holding hands
And filling your own
With beautiful flowers
and stones
I hope you dare
To live generously
Love extravagantly
As if this is the only life you have
