My heart hurts for you.

It hopes for so much more.

I want you to be happy.

Healthy – making good decisions.

Embracing all the good in front of you –

Within you.

I feel you under my skin.

Next to my heart.

I’m nervous, because I feel the darkness growing,

Blowing out, billowing, swirling around –

Claiming ground.

I’m captured by your smile.

The light in your eyes – the question.

Hope. Anticipation – of what’s to come,

The possible best.

Guard your heart, my dear.

To obtain the best, we must fight the worst.

The battle is NOT for the faint of heart.

I want you. Whole and winning.

I can feel the darkness with you.

But I can’t fight the darkness for you.

I can send you light and love, but alone they are not enough.

You must fight, reclaim, advance – shine your own light.
