The Roof

You have a roof over your head. Food in your stomach. People who know your name and use it. A blanket. A pillow. A sun that rises and sets.

You are the luckiest person alive.

The Strike

In your darkest house. When all else has failed. When you need it most.

It will come from above.

The Fairytale

You look like every drawing of every character from every fairytale I’ve ever read.

The Way

You asked me for directions. I lied.

The best time to find yourself is when you’re lost.

The Smiling

You work so hard yet you always greet everyone with the same warm smile.

Thank you for smiling.

The Amble

Your children will ask you what a car was. You will tell them it was a mistake.

The Beginning

All the greatest success stories start in failure. Otherwise they wouldn’t be success stories. You can make this the end. Or you can make it the beginning.
