Favorite Quote:
“The poet's job is to put into words those feelings we all have that are so deep, so important, and yet so difficult to name, to tell the truth in such a beautiful way, that people cannot live without it.”
― JaneKenyon


I want you guys to know
You are my inspiration
And I know I don't always
Give you my full cooperation

I hope you both know you
Have a special place in my heart
You always will
Even if we are miles apart

You raised me
To be caring but strong
You both have taught me
To know right from wrong

Yeah we do
Sometimes fight
But often you guys
Are usually right

I know in about 5 years
We may no longer be together
But I want you to know
Home is where you are forever

When I'm out on my own
In this big wide world
I want you to know
I will always be your little girl
