Harbor lights
reflect in brackish water
tall, thin houses of color
reach to the black sky
yellow moon beams
ice floes ferried by wind
driven by heaving waves

Seawall shelters harbor boats
ripples dance
sea smells creep in window cracks
breathe deep
dawn, blackness dwells
boats move
fishnets stretch
motors run
boots slosh
weather chatter
off to catch
fried fish supper

happiness is not fearing the ending.
it's being excited about the beginning
happiness is not being scared of suffering, of hurting, of dying.
happiness is living the moment at its best, knowing it could end any second, but not caring.
happiness is so strong that sometimes it is hard to express.
because happiness comes from deep within you.

May you dream and dream big.
Dreams do come true.

May you sing your own song Loud and Proud.
Someone is listening.

May you dance to your own music alone if need be.
Dancing by yourself is better than not dancing at all.

May you find your true beauty and beauty in others.
For you are truly beautiful.

May you seek and find your true worth.
Because in your true worth you find your true strength.

May you find true love and experience true friendship.
If you are blessed, they can be in the same person.

May you seek and find Gods best for you then follow it.
Remember your best my not be Gods best be open to that.

May you watch over each other and speak the truth in love.
It’s nice to know that someone has your back.
