Poem For Vanessa

You are worthy of love

& you're worthy of friends

You're worthy of hugs & kisses

& summer nights that never end.

You are worthy of respect

& may your wishes come true

If they are worthy enough

For what is planned for you.

Most of all, YOU are worthy enough

of everything

You don't have to do anything

But shatter the lies in your mirror

To see the real you that much clearer.

So dream on girl &

When you feel small & insignificant

Stand up tall because

You are worthy of it all, every little bit.
