Tori: {bird}

I promise to always

form a cocoon for you

- with my arms -

until you grow

your own set of wings.

With my kisses

I will provide an antidote

for your every sore heart,

every cutting word

and every reality that stings.

For you, my butterfly,

I would give up

the ability to fly

if it meant

that you would soar.

Tori, my little bird.

The girl with the

hummingbird heart

and the sky in her eyes:

I will always love you more.
