Soar
You were not born to be ordinary.
You are so beautiful, so interesting and so wonderfully unique.
You hold dreams and ideas inside of you that no one else
has ever thought of and that the world so desperately needs.
You do not need to pretend to be anyone
other than who you really are.
You were never meant to be ordinary my handsome father.
It’s time to let your wings out so you can finally soar.
