This Poem is Dedicated to my Daughter Zohey

You are a place in my heart where fairies live and play, where dreams come true
and the trees have voices and whisper choices.
I am loved and so are you
because you love me and
I love you.
At the end of a season
there is no reason for
tears.

What remains is our love, peace and joy
and the choice of a new season of love, growth and joy
know you are eternally loved

You told me you
              Couldn't find your way
                                     In your darkest nights
So I left you a star
               A star in every poem
                               To find your way home

Am I just a wheel?
Consuming meals?
A speck in blue sea?
Bound by what I see?
Life amongst trees?
Breathing means free?

Am I my beliefs?
The truth I seek?
Flag of a country?
Defined by currency?
A liability?
Part of society?

Am I what you see?
The way you judge me?
The values you pick?
First impressions stick?
Norm defined by you?
Do I dare to be rude?

No...

I am who I choose.
I fill my own shoes.
I win when I lose.
I create my own views.
I see black beyond blue.
I pick me over you.

Who are we?
I am me.
Who are we?
Depends on you.
