I came across a picture of you today. 

With eyes as big as the stars, and as dark as the night sky. 

At one point in my life, you knew me better then everyone else. 

I have created a goal to carry your silver lining around my heart until I feel as though I made you smile at every one of my accomplishments. 

I am sure I have made you frown more times then I can imagine. 

Whether it be frowns or smiles, I thank God for the simple fact that you get a chance to watch me grow each and every day. 

I pray you guide me in the right directions and protect me from every obstacle I am faced with. 

Help me to be as strong as you once were.
