Little Bird

 Dear little love, You are three weeks old today. What a beautiful little life you are. This world is big, little bird, and it will be all yours.  You will fly all your life. I will be so lucky to watch you in the sky. Sleep sound through the night, I will always hold you tight. You are blessed by Heaven, You are a little light. -Emma Lancaster

Too Weak to Hold Water

 I sometimes think about what would have happened  if I had never found out that he  wasn't in love with me. If he had gotten away with cheating, how long would he have hidden it from me? Would I know, even today? How would my heart have hurt differently? But then I think about who I was, who I am, where I am, where I will go, what I was, and what I will be next, and I refuse to think for a second longer about the love that was too weak to hold water. -Emma Lancaster

And oh,

 And oh, he is fun. He is serious when necessary, and he is serious about me. But he is fun.  He skips down the sidewalks with me. He dances to Taylor Swift. He likes otters. He keeps a drawing of a dinosaur in his pocket when he goes to work. I'm having the adventure of a lifetime. The smile never fades. -Emma Lancaster
