To Kai, with love ...

If I could wrap you in my arms
And never let you go
I would
But I know that you need space to learn & grow

If I could hold your hand
And guide you every step of your life
I would
But I know that you need to be free to make mistakes

If I could bubble wrap your heart
So it would never break
I would
But I know that the pain will make you grow stronger

If I could bottle my love for you
Before I die
I would
But I know that my love will live on inside you forever
