Hope

I hope you lay in dandelion fields
I hope you breathe in the spring air, feel the wind in your hair and count the clouds in the sky
I hope you tap into that childlike laugh of yours
I hope you remain delicate and soft
I hope you keep your head held high and remain true to your heart
I hope you become fearless because you can make your dreams come true
I hope you express your love, your thoughts, your desires as if your feet will never touch the ground again
I hope you say yes to adventure and turn the page if anything makes you feel small
I hope you write love letters to yourself and others just for the sake of pleasure, reassurance, and passion
I hope you find the discipline to reach every single one of your goals
I hope your heart bursts with gratitude that you ignite a fire in another
I hope you continue to keep going and persevere because your strength overshadows any doubt
I hope you travel and see mountains, deserts, kingdoms, valleys, crashing waves, fields of sunflowers, sunsets and sunrises over history made still
I hope you find wild love that makes you dance in the streets and blush at a simple name
I hope you find joy in silence and in chaos
I hope you find warm hands to hold and friendly faces you can rest your head on
I hope you find peace, grace, and happiness
I hope your eyes twinkle when you see beauty
And I hope, I hope, you smile,
Just because
