Pink Tree

As it sways in the summer
its petals are bright as ever
stuck in their place on my pink tree

As those petals drop in the fall
they brush against my window 
in a flurry of pink and gray

When the bare tree hits its limbs against my window
it is a reminder to hold tight
the petals will return next spring
brighter than before

  • I LOVE YOU

    In all your sadness and glory, wins and losses

    Let me be there

    Own the fact I will be here forever

    Very much attached to your side

    Even when you wish me gone

    Your light will always guide my ship

  • Dance of the Polar Bear

         Late at night, my igloo is cozy and warm, unlike the Artic outside. Grandmum tucks me into bed, but doesn't leave just yet. She takes a seat on the edge of my bed, and prepares her story telling voice.
