Because I Love You

Because I love you

I only want what is best for you,

I've had your back from day one

As you've grown into the best of you,

I wish you love, peace, and fulfillment

As you journey on your way,

I wish you opportunities to grow

While embracing the gift that is today,

I wish you friends that encourage you to be your authentic self

Not embarrassed or insist you put your feelings on a shelf,

I wish you hugs and affection

An embrace that's safe and warm,

People that surround you who will keep you safe from harm,

I wish you goals and desires 

Passions you must pursue,

Talents that are God-given to make you the perfect YOU,

I wish you generosity of spirit

An open heart that's willing to give,

But a fun and fearless spirit

That will teach you how to live,

Most of all,  that God would watch over every single thing you do,

And everyone would love the wonderful creation that is YOU.
