Dear Drawn to Life

October 24, 2018

Sorry it's been almost a decade

since I first played you before

giving you this.

I'm learning to draw.

I can't yet make my drawings lifelike,

and it's a shame I can't bring them to life,

but I can still make art worth making.

I'm learning to play piano.

Yours was the soundtrack to my childhood,

and it's a shame I could never recreate the latter,

but I can still enjoy a good song.

I'm learning to be excited for the future.

My favorite level of yours was the space one,

and it's a shame I could probably never be an astronaut,

but I can still acheive great things.

Thank you for teaching me to want to learn.
