To My Baby Niece, Isabella

You are young, so young
that failure seems impossible.
I pray you always find it is.
Some of us won’t make our dreams
Come true. I know you will.
You’re free to cry.
You’re free to think and be.
You’re more than me.
You’re you.

    And here are my wishes in few lines for Isabella:
    "You are young, you are free;
    May God bless u with everything before u realize,
    so that u have no reason to worry;
    and you live life king size."

    Merry Christmas Ben :)

    Nowhere else do I get word verification gems like I do from your blog...
    Brosies (bro-seez) definition’s 1. Male flowers of the dasie variety with a natural affinity for one another akin to a familial relationship, best friends, or platonic soul mates. 2. A slang term used to describe hetero male dance partners; Jim and Bob are brosies, have been for ages.
