if you feel lost
and you cant figure it out
retrace your steps
and it will show you the way

no one can do it for you
you have to do all the work on your own
they can be there to listen and guide you
and try to keep you warm

but until you go outside
in the pouring rain
and work through it until you find your sun again.

it will always rain.

one

four
five
six
seven
eight...
oh big eight, there you are.
my brightest sun
my little number one
my astronaut
my artist
my curious one
how far you've come.
how much you've grown
how beautiful you are
to all the laughter
you are my greatest treasure
I love you Maisie
happy birthday

I walked along the train tracks
they lead me to a beach
where the sand slipped right through my fingers
and flashes of an hourglass tipping
flooded through my mind
as I sat on the beach
the waves hit my toes
and all I could do was smile
because in this moment
the earth and I became one
and I knew that in the end
I was exactly where I wanted to be.
on the beach, feeling the wind
and the sand beneath me...............
