You Are Enough

You are enough
You are wildly beautiful in your perfection

I love you more
Than you can perhaps even dream
Although who am I to say
How big you can dream

There truly are no limits
No limits to the possibilities
No limits to the ever expanding
Palette of opportunities
That await us at every turn

What an adventure we’re on my dear
Which version of you will be the one
To answer the call
To open the door
How will you step through?

With fear or doubt?
Or will you step through boldly
With the confidence that has you
Juggling the butterflies in your stomach and
Courage that makes your mother worry.

You are enough

You are capable of big things
You are filled with the energy that creates Sunshine
And tsunamis
You are filled yet too with the subtle warmth
Of a baseboard heater and
The magnificent heat of a roaring bonfire

May you be the one to stoke you own fire
Liberating yourself from years
Of looking for everyone else’s approval
But your own

May you put your hair down
Look to the sky and
Laugh loudly at the stars

May you be consumed with love
For your own wellbeing
May you fall head over heels
For your deep well of talents and gifts
Each one beautiful and
Incomparable to anyone else’s

May we one day see
And jump
And laugh
In delight

At the way we can
Dance
And sing
And play together
Like children

Learning to be seen
In all of our glory
And all of ourselves

I am enough
And so are you
