you remind me very much of
those days i smiled without
needing a reason to—yet
I remember more
the times I scolded you,
told you to change,
told you to be better,
told you to listen,
told you so much
but gave you nothing to grow with.
I am so proud of you.
I am in constant awe
of who you are and
who you will be
when i’m not
around but will still
smile with you.
I am so proud of you.
you bring this world
a light, so
keep shining;
keep being you.
