More than you see

From Ladies Pass it On

You are always so much more than you see.

You are the laughter that rings in the air, infecting

everyone around you.

You are the softness of your heart when problems are

placed in front of you.

You are the words you passed on in times of need, that

stay with each person you gift.

You are the music you hum in the car with the windows

down and your sunglasses on.

You are a special scent that lingers long after you leave.

You are the memories of childhood stored safely, like the

precious cargo they are, in the heart of your family.

You are the little girl who cried, who fell, who got up.

You are the friend who stayed when others had gone.

You are so much more than you measured yourself upon.

You are so much more than your failings, your bad days.

Sweet girl, you were always good enough.

The world isn't always good enough for you.
