Thank you,
I can rely on you to trip me up when times are getting awkward.
You’re a true pal.
You’ve blessed me with a pointless, quirky talent
Maybe someday, I’ll find a way to earn money by picking things up using my toes.
But truly,
it’s thanks to you for taking me on so many wonderful adventures,
just fragments of our constant journey
We’ve danced and performed as one.
We’ve traveled the elegant streets of the city.
You get me where I need to be on time
and you quietly sneak me up the stairs when my curfew slips away
My bad, never yours
We’ve proudly marched under the Friday Night Lights
We’ve hiked to breathtaking heights together
We’ve strolled the halls of our new home, whichever that may be.
Thank you,
for that extra little inch arching on the tip of my toes that made those goodnight kisses worthwhile. Score!
Thank you,
for continuing to carry my load when it’s weighing me down.
You keep me moving forward when my soles are blistered and bleeding,
when giving up appears so tempting
Thank you for keeping me upright.
At only five-foot-one, I’m standing in the grace of my supporters
I hope to leave behind my prints in the sand wherever you lead me next.
