I have watched the rising of the most incredible dawning of days and still I have missed the beauty that moment gave my existence,

And I have witness the fullness of the moon so perfectly that I could almost count each crater and yet I failed to see the magnificence of it.

To stare at one of the most exquisite pieces of art that the eyes can behold and never appreciate the creation that took place,

To possess the flawlessness of a precious diamond while it glitters from the light and still not understand its true value.

All of this has no comparisons to when I gaze into your eyes while your smile is so enthralled with enchantment,

That I can virtually see the dwelling domain of where your soul calls its place of serenity and still I overlooked the one most important part of you.

It is the freedom of being you that you have search for, for so very long,

Not finding it in wealth, or in a commitment to another, and not even watching life being born entirely gave it all to you.

It is the appreciation and approval of yourself that you truly want to be recognize by from others,

It is the value of who you are and what you will be that makes you say…

“I am here, care for me, share with me, allow me to be me, and be there to hold me when I need to be held.”
“Do not deny me, do not control me, force me, or punish me for not being who you want me to be...for I waited to be born just to be able to live, laugh, grow, and love.”

So now I know of the truest sun rise and the fullness of the moons luminous light,

I have admired and touched the art and held the biggest diamond in my hand.

And I have given gifts of insight in many different forms and fashion as I approached individuals in my life,

But for you and at this moment I give to you the understanding and the appreciation of you being you… and not to the standards of my dreams and wishes…but to the freedom of who you were created to be embraced by.

The greatest of all gifts is the gift that allows another to be what it is, who it is, and why it is, they are who they are.

So be happy always my love and sometimes we can be happy because of each other and that is why we are always connected forever.
