I dreamt about you often. I wished upon a star
And then you came, to heal my shame.
And hide my nagging scar.
And though you weren’t born to me
I couldn’t love you more.
Right from the start, you stole my heart
It’s you that I adore.
From baby into toddler, to little skux with style.
The silly names, the funny games.
All to make you smile.
You’ll always be my blessing.
Grow strong, be kind, stay true
Where ever life may lead you
Im forever here for you 💙
She tucked a thousand broken promises deep inside her heart,
A kaleidoscope of courageous vulnerability.
Her wairua reflected the prism of her unconditional love,
Catching the sparkle of her mamae.
Each tear she wiped, shone brightly in the sky.
The glow of her loyalty warming my darkness, banishing my insecurity.
Empowering my mana, defining my values.
She radiated aroha.
Lifeline to my strength.
Keeper of my secrets.
My trusted advisor.
Fearless, resilient, ataahua

When the weight of the world falls heavy on my shoulders,
With patient ears and protective arms, he anchors me.
He laughs at my stubbornness, indulges my moodiness, dances until I forget why I was angry.
He refuses to validate my insecurities, and greets each imperfection with a smile.
For he knows me like no other.
Together we plan our adventures, collect new memories,
Share laughter, soothe hurt, navigate life’s hurdles.
For even the darkest clouds, hold the silver lining of his love.
I lay in the cocoon of his embrace, listen to his heart beat in sync with mine.
And know I am blessed.
Absolutely Ange
