She

**

She is grown and moving on
In leaps and bounds she dances
towards a future I can only dream of.

The best parts of me are mirrored in her
And I imagine that the best parts of her
Might be in me somewhere, buried and dirty.

She carries no air of superiority or pride
She has no idea that she shines
And gives light to all my secret dreams.

A soul so beautiful that others rise up
Unashamed and unaware that she
Is the kindred spirit that has called to them.

Truly alive and truly living
I feel a responsibility to do the same
To live along side her, alight and free.

She is family and she is true
A beauty, a beacon, a fire,
And a heart that invites me to radiate with her.
