Madison
may you keep
the curious mind
of a beautiful child
age only in years
capable of travelling
thousands of miles
while sitting under
a Summer tree
able to take flight
with bee or butterfly
and always capable
of seeing reasons
to smile
open yourself and
let life walk through
your eyes can touch
what your hands cannot reach
your thoughts can make birds fly
and words will come later to tell you why
so
always think higher thoughts
and speak stronger words
that you shall make more perfect work
of becoming yourself
sweet flower
