Celebrate
our victories.
Stretch towards
the sky.
Follow beams
of light
that meander
among
constellations
reshaping
shadows cast by
stars and moons.
Choose to
travel
outside
the lines
instead of
settling
for safe
outcomes.
Look with
wonder.
Live life as
you embrace
a willingness
to believe
and accept
that miracles
are realities
which defy
the rules of
predictability.
