I could never have imagined I would come this far…

I could never have imagined I would come this far…
Soar at so many different altitudes…
Sometimes like a bird in the sky…
Others like a rock falling through the waters.

Wading past so much conflicting advice…
Fool’s magic…
Much of my life in a fantasy land…
Speeding on the fastest course.

But now I am wise…
The picture of patience…
Always making sure I can see my footsteps behind me…
Taking shelter when I see a boiling sea of clouds.

I often think…
Where would I be without you…
You brought me in where it is safe and warm…
Teaching me only love…
You told me that love is all I need in this world…
The rest I can negotiate.

So, I no longer judge people as if I am appraising art…
Aren’t they just a shadow of myself?
I keep myself to only the four letters of love…
They fit perfectly on the billboard of who I am.

I love you,

Annie
