Little Lexi

I will never stop.

Never stop climbing walls.

Never stop the late calls.

And you know why.

Even if you fight me,

I will never stop fighting

for you.

From you,

I would take every painful moment

upon myself if I could.

In a heartbeat.

When your knees shake,

I will relieve you of any burden

I can steal away.

Because you never have to be alone.

You will always have my

shoulder to lean on,

cry on, to hold on.

Our hands will always be

outstretched.

Even if you hide,

I know that you know

that I'll be right here.

Waiting on the front steps—

Even in the snow.

And you know how much I hate snow.

Never stop laughing.

Because your smile is worth

so much more than you know.

Look around you,

because I will surround you

with everything beautiful.

All you have to do

is take a deep breath—

And hold it.

Cling to it.

Because sometimes beauty

is all you have to remind you

of who you really are.

And who you are,

is twice as breathtaking.
