May you be the perfect starfish in the sea.

May you be what the world was never willing to see.

May you do the things your happiness brings.

                     May you always know.

that in my eyes you were the perfect angel in the snow.

                     May you always feel.

           That every word you speak is real.

May you always see.

The perfect life you created for me.

  By my daughter Janene written for me when she was 10 years old. published with her permission.

When I first began to read it, I didn't think the author was 10 years old; that's how good it is.
