You may not like me.

In fact, I'm sure

you don't.

You hate that I have

feelings.

You hate that I

can think.

So I'll just keep my

mouth shut.

I'll bide my time.

But remember this name.
And wait for the day
that my fame
puts you to shame.

For Maren Jay

Dear Maren,

good girl.

Don't you know

just who your are?

One of God's

most precious stars!

Though "Unimportant"

you may say,

You have, unknowingly,

paved a way.

Your care, your love,

has made a path.

You're guiding others

with your laugh.

Your light that shines

so clear and bright...

You've cared for us

with all your might.

You've given up

most everything

for the people

and the things

that you hold dear.

So you've grown wings!

So much is said

in a smile alone.

I've found a friend.

I've found a home.

Your goodness gave

all this to me.

You need to know:

You have helped me.

You're leading with

your smiling face.

Your warmth, your love,

your smile, your grace.

You are special.

At least to me.

And, as long as I'm living,

special you'll be.

(Dedicated to Maren Jay Wilson)
