My darling,
do not let the
exclamation
in your name
curl itself into a
question mark.
Do not, even once,
allow your voice
to lilt up when
you give an answer.
You have wisdom
under your tongue
and humor
wrapped around
each tooth.
Do not throw
these gifts away
so easily.
Hold onto
every word.
Wrap your hands
around each sentence
like a lifeline,
your song is beautiful
in every octave.
