A Poem - For You

I will climb the highest mountain 
Dive down to the deepest seas
Explore all corners of the world 
Hold the tissue while you sneeze

I will fight off fearsome dragons
Join with you against each foe 
Fly through the sky chasing fairies 
Pull the splinter from your toe 

I will catch a shooting star 
Steer our rocket out to space 
Search the caves for pixies 
Wipe every tear from your face

I will chase lions in the savannah
Track the footsteps of their prey 
Cook our dinner over an open fire 
Listen to all that you say 

I cannot promise an easy life
If I did, that would be untrue 
I can however make this promise 
That we will always and forever love you 

​This year my word to focus on is 'invest'. One of things I want to invest more time and energy in this year is being creative. I am, by nature, a creative person and it makes me happy. Usually I can be found making flowers out of paper, knitting or warming up a hot glue gun but not very often am I creative with words. However writing poetry has been massively healing for me already this year, I hope to continue this new, unexpected passion. 
So here is my first poem of this year, written for Reggie, our gorgeous boy.
