i wish
i had something profound
to share with you,
something that would
change your life
or better still,
enhance your life.
something that would
validate and confirm
what you already know to be true.
i wish
i had something profound
to share with you,
something that would
make you see the world
or yourself
or even your cat
differently.
i wish
i had something profound
to share with you,
something that would
encourage you,
give you the nudge
you need
to start that project
you’ve carried around
for so long.
i wish
i had something profound
to share with you,
something that would
make you smile
or better still
laugh right out loud.
i wish
i had something profound
to share with you,
something that would
erase all the bruises
that have made you
tuck yourself in
and be smaller
than you really are.
i wish
i had something profound
to share with you,
something that would
convince you
that your life
is precious to me
and to so many others.
something that would
convince you
that the world
needs your project,
your talent,
your words,
your ideas,
your creativity,
your love,
your laughter.
mostly, though,
i wish
it was as easy
as serving you
a page full
of words
for you to know,
to know at the cellular level,
how precious
you are.
wishes do come true, my friend. xo

Don’t look now, but I think you succeeded in your wishes.
Oh, Sugar. Nothing would make me smile bigger. You are such a treasure.
