liked
coloring books
{although
too polite
to say so,
when lovingly
offered up
by caring
friends and
relations}.
Give her
a large
empty
sketch pad
and Crayola's

Blizzard Blue
to
Purple Mountain's Majesty,
Bittersweet
to
Granny Smith Apple
Her imagination
set free

her dreams.

for us
to
fly
back to
the nest

I pray
that you
glide
and soar.
Don't
look down
just

It's all
waiting
there,
for you.
