Let me forget transient sadness
Let me reinvent me
And not be too small inside

Let me grow fat with happy
Be tender with those
Who grieve

Forgiving of children
And men

And into other hearts
My own heart weave

Let me forget what's unhappy
A day's such a miracle born

Who knew existence would happen
Or that it would happen so soon

Let me love while time
Has patience, for lovers

Let me grow while Earth
Still has room, for flowers

Open my heart
To see others pain

And try to make a difference
Before I have to leave again

I pray for wings, for my heart to fly
I pray the most, in blue breaths of sky

A poem/prayer for my best friend, Anna. I wish that I had met her in school. Would have been a much less lonely place, way back when...
then again, maybe it's good I didn't; we might have taken over the world?  :)
