YOU

~I'd do anything for you if I could!

I told the sunrise about you

And the waters in the sea

I told the waves to rhyme to the melody of who you are

And the shores were filled with footprints of where you had been

I told the ship to give you a perfect view of all that there was

I told the skies to be clear so that we could make hay

And the sun wasn't so scorching

The universe heard my voice and obeyed

The winds whispered through the chimes

That you were the most beautiful goddess to walk the earth

The sunset glowed with an orange that was suitable for you

Kissed your face and ensured you took perfect pictures for it

I asked the clouds to walk you down the hottest paths

Just like God did for the Israelites

The moon's perfect moonlight shone and your face glimmered in the dark

I've never seen a grimace on your face

And even if I did, I mistook it for your beauty because you are perfect

An angel in disguise

Heaven had rained bountiful beauty on you

And even with the physical rain, droplets would curve on your skin, hug it for a while and drop to form a rainbow because you are the light

The dark honored your presence

There was nothing innit to harm you

The dark is jealous of you because you aren't just light, child of the light, but you carry light for your generation

I told the mountains to bow

Appear smaller so that you can rise above it without feeling tired

I told the baobab trees to look prettier when you pass near them, because you are deserving of every perfection

I told the voices in your head to shush

Any sound of doubt to be erased from your memory

To live so carefree and in peace is all I want for you

I told your favourite flowers to bloom even when it wasn't their time to

I asked your coffee to stay hot and not run cold

I asked the weather to be perfect

Whether it's that winter outfit you want to rock or that small top, the weather will obey

I asked my camera to behave when I took pictures of you

Perfect saturation, perfect lighting, perfect clarity, perfect focus

And it did .....because it's you

In a way I wish I could erase any worry from your face or carry thy burden to the cross but Jesus already did it for you

Oh, to love you is priceless!

Now I'm telling the world about you

Here's to my little not-so-little sister 💛Brigid Chero

Dear gentle reader,

This is most probably the shortest post I've written but I think it's beautiful.

I write best when sad
