I pray that you can stand at the edge of the ocean admiring the stars above, as if God himself strung them up just for you. I pray that foreign lands and language flow through your blood so that you can feel all the pieces that you're composed of when you feel alone. I pray that you only ever look down on those you are helping up, and that  you can lend light when the world only seems to offer darkness. I hope you find happiness in life's oddities. May you fill our home with jars of tadpoles, feathers filled with germs, and wet puppy paw prints from a dog we "didn't want". My little girl  I pray that you never know heartache that your Daddy can't fix, but most of all I pray that you find a love like the love that made you.

Dear Daughter:
I pray that you can stand at the edge of the ocean admiring the stars above, as if God himself strung them up just for you. I pray that foreign lands and language flow through your blood so that you can feel all the pieces that you're composed of when you feel alone. I pray that you only ever look down on those you are helping up, and that  you can lend light when the world only seems to offer darkness. I hope you find happiness in life's oddities. May you fill our home with jars of tadpoles, feathers filled with germs, and wet puppy paw prints from a dog we "didn't want". My little girl  I pray that you never know heartache that your Daddy can't fix, but most of all I pray that you find a love like the love that made you.
