Thank you for giving me happiness. Thank you for giving me a time in my life when I didn’t cry myself to sleep with the last thought in my head a plea to God to please let me not wake up in the morning. Thank you for your patience, acceptance and understanding even when you didn’t really want to give it anymore. Thank you for knowing that I needed to feel like I belonged and giving me the space to express my self. Thank you for your decency and humanity. I appreciate you.

As a child
I couldn’t resist
Throwing myself into the wind
Or down a flight of stairs
I’ve always wanted to fly
