The sky is always the color of the sea when you smile.
I pick you up and swirl you around
Then we walk to the tree to sit for a while.
You and I we are so alike
Yet I seem to face the calm while you brave the wild.
The unknown scares us all and I am secluded now
And I know I cannot put out your fire.
It is burning along and we all watch
And our tears cannot make the flames tire.
Can help us grab our only wish and desire.
So come Florence and fight the hot embers
I'll be by your side because of the love you inspire.
This poem is for the toughest little 5 year old I know. One who has been battling a still unknown autoimmune disorder for most of her life. She is an inspiration to me and everyone who meets her. I am very close to her as I was her nanny. She has more spirit than any average person on this planet. She is going through and has gone through too much for her young age. I don't even believe I'd had an IV by age 5. Yet, Florence has undergone neurosurgery. I'm so glad she was brought into my life. She makes me smile, she makes me love more deeply, she makes me humble, and above all she makes me happy. She has had a rough 3 weeks along with her family and big courgeous 7 year old sis, Laura Mishler. The unknown of her disease has me wanting to reach out to everyone doctor in the country--the world, because I just hate to see such an awesome soul go through so much agony. It's not fair, but I will save that topic for another day. Right now I only send love, prayer, and good thoughts to my dear Florence, her parents, and Mish. I hope you read this and do, too. Here is to the your health, may it be strong always.
