The world froze..
just for a second..
but I felt time stop when I saw you pluck a dandelion and blow its petals off like it was the only thing in life left to do.

I wonder what you wished for.

The innocence you embody sent one petal you blew up in the air and with God's help, created a whole field of wild flowers.

Its called the 8th wonder of the world..

You inspire me.
You inspire me because I inspire you
and I don’t deserve that kind of love.

You want to be just like me when you grow up

But you are So full of life and So free..

She’s a dandelion.. swaying beautifully and unapologetically in the wind.

and I’m the **** attached... too wrapped up in this world to even think about what real freedom is.

So when everything stopped for a moment..

When you glanced over at me..

I felt gratitude. Because you give me freedom with every laugh.
With every hug.
With every time you say you love me.

So when you tell me you want to be like me when you grow up..

I say I just want to be a dandelion.
I want to be just like you.
