I wish you A sharp new pencil To capture ideas And friend's phone numbers. I wish you A big eraser And the ability To make mistakes. I wish you A shiny new notebook To record your adventure And tell your story. I wish you Exciting books To stimulate your mind And take you to new places. I wish you A big back pack To store all your memories And fulfill all your needs. I wish you All the love and learning Your heart desires As you continue on your journey.

Cocoon
Tethered to the stem
Snapped off by summer storms
Falling freely.
Not yet ready to fly
Yet not now safe inside.
I need a gentle breeze
To carry me
Until I can safely land
And complete the transformation.
