The future is in the depths of your dark brown eyes
Each success, stumble, stop and start takes my breath away
Like the wind moving a leaf, I am carried to each high
Each low.

You are strong and fierce.
Your unwavering loyalty to friends sets you apart
Your gentle heart, buried all too often, beats in time with my own.

Unlike the leaf, don’t let the wind move you.
Set your own course
Choose your own paths.
Change your mind and your tune as often as you want.

Challenge yourself to go it alone when it brings you peace, joy, and love.
