And I hope she’ll be a fool, that’s the best thing a girl can be, is a beautiful little fool. To see no fault and see no cause, a demeanor that elicits the ceasing of qualms She will drink mint tea while sitting with glee on top of a cloud above a raging storm Her focus is precise and what she sees will be calm I wish for my daughter to be one She will live in a bubble, plated with the toughest material and doubled, and coated with rose-colored glass. It will be her veil, disguising injustices too well, but her aura will always be electric Her tears will be daisies growing amongst the lilies near a pond where there’s coy and fairies casting spells. She will sleep and dream neutral, as the sandman began his sutures, to maintain her outlook that life is swell. I wish for my daughter to be one With her sway and her gallop and her nod and her twirl, she will please the sensibilities of the world. I pray to the heavens, her angels and gods, that there will not be a crack in her armor. For if she is to see how the world truly be, then her face will forever be furled She is my joy and my love, a pearl necklace with a hug, a jewel that can never be matched And I hope she’ll be a fool, that’s the best thing a girl can be. Is a Beautiful Little Fool

Beautiful Little Fool
When I was younger, I learned how to tell if people were truly happy The secret is to look them in the eyes. Make them feel vulnerable and don’t break the connection. It’s an unspoken link. Like, I see you for who you truly are. You may be able to hide but I see you. I see Your tears at night I see Your mask of make up and bravado I see What you don’t want anyone to know I learned how to tell if people were truly happy at a young age, Imagine knowing when you’re the one causing the unhappiness.
