New favorite book: Blueberry Girl
"...Let her go places that we've never been,
Trust and delight in her youth.
Words can be worrisome, people complex,
Motives and manners unclear,
Grant her the wisdom to choose her path right,
Free from unkindness and fear.
Let her tell stories, and dance in the rain,
Summersault, tumble and run,
Her joys must be high as her sorrows are deep,
Let her grow like a weed in the sun.
Ladies of paradox, ladies of measure,
Ladies of shadows that fall,
This is a prayer for a blueberry girl,
Words written clean on the wall."
-Niel Gaiman
