Your Silent Companion

Explore, my little love,

To where the beauty quietly awaits.

Feel the love in your heart,

The joy in your soul,

And let your laughter be the music

That heals the ills.

May your steps remain as uninhibited

As they are today;

May the chapters that unfold,

Be a story worth retelling;

May the roads you travel,

Be a treasure map

For the ones who follow.

And know that my silent footsteps

Are your eternal companions;

My love, the softest breeze

On your rugged face.

Far away but never apart.
