 My little girl turned three years old yesterday. She's smart, funny, beautiful, kind, capable, intuitive, and loving.
 She always tells me that I'm her hero, but I don't think she understands when I say that she's  also my hero. She saved me...before her I wasn't really sure what my purpose was. She's given me direction, and she's given me courage.



Most of all, she's given me unconditional love. I've never known a love like hers. She's truly my ray of sunshine. Happy birthday Raia Sunshyne!!!

Shore Trip

   salt thick summer wind
travels the atlantic
    to reach her tiny curls

Poetry


“Poetry is a call to action. If it doesn’t make you see something, make you feel something, make you do something, it isn’t poetry. It’ll make you check on your daughter at 2 am, it’ll make you walk outside to smell the rain, make you remember the way the ocean feels on your skin, make you hug your mom,  help a stranger, stop your car, gasp for breath. Poetry is life.”
