Just to be alive

Poetic Dan

You carry a great weight of emotional responsibility, even in the shadows where no one else sees.

 

Way before that very first breath, you was taking it all in of what you could expect. To then be dropped in an ocean of loves and regrets, cut off from the umbilical safety net

 

From under our wings you slowly grow as we guide through the needs and wants, to hold you when it gets to much but give you space to find what works

 

Pulling out our feathers to begin a new with you, was never a job but an honour to do. In the reflection of our eyes was a billion smile, each the teacher and student under the endless sky

 

Remembering how good it feels just to be alive.

    A perfect statement of where you are now, Dan...You are making me envious.
    Best wishes.

      Currently in the back seat, squashed and tingling toes.... not all is pretty but well worth it...
      Time for a nap with little one, thanks for checking in.
      See you on the other side

      Such fine words Dan, you have come a long way and are in a wonderful place that will only get better and better.
