A Letter to My Children

Everything. That’s what I want for you.

You didn’t ask, but I’ll tell you:
Everything.

That’s what I want for you.

But mostly happiness
Joy brimming full and spilling over

Love, too, always love
The kind you have for everyone else 
But also the kind you can wrap around yourself
Love that will keep you warm

Roots that extend into the earth
But wings that will…
