They sit next to me
I can’t look at them very long or I’ll get the question
Why are you looking at me???
I can’t tell them in that moment my heart is exposed
But beating so beatifically to their rhythm
Their joys, frustrations and aspirations.
I remember when I was their age once
I see my mother’s eyes looking at me then too
That look
I wish you happiness, peace and love.
You will always be loved.
Don’t forget your worth
Bring it into every room you are in
And remember to share your story
Because you have so much to share.
