Selective & loyal
Strong willed and sarcastic
She speaks her mind
Even as empathy rules her heart
I have had a front row seat to her becoming
And I know my personality & influence imprinted certain traits
I love her wholly & completely
Generously & freely
She owes me nothing
But I feel her generous affection in return
There is a layer of prickly
Self protection maybe
Or wisdom in giving herself the space
To figure out her own mind & heart
There is time.
And I have room to pull back and notice
Pray, yet not carry the weight
Observe & delight
And trust the God who is lovingly in charge
