you are made
of the DNA of
love––
you are a sister
of every creature that
ever lived on this
planet––
amoebas & trilobites,
cephalopods & butterflies
for you
the earth spins
& the moon twirls––
& plants make
oxygen complements
of the sun
your parents
& all of us
yearn to watch
you grow
we humans
are beings of
light
miracles of
photons & matter––
married together
by the intelligence
of love
the big people
may think
you’re rolling around
in a crib
when you’re actually
painting paradise
on the walls
inside––
pure sounds & happy
colors––
sweet animals & smiling
friends
you are building
the castle of remi,
tending the fields of remi,
sculpting the mountains of remi,
exploring the oceans of remi,
dreaming the skies––
with a remi heart
right at the center
to share
you filled your
cuddly sheep with
love
& she loves you
in return
you love-twins
send your love
to all
the animals,
the trees &
the grasses,
the clouds &
the infinite
stars––
everything
blossoms with
joy
let your life be
inspired by
love––
& may your heart
grow big enough
to embrace
this whole wide
world
