tread lightly

he doesn't know that he treads dangerous waters
putting limits on things
like time
like life
like love
like forever

there will not be a time when i won't want
to serve a purpose
to make others smile
to cause ripples
to be a mother

because the love i have
could challenge the ocean

these arms are already outstretched
welcoming
waiting
hoping

that there will be no limits

and one day
i'll make a tiny wish
come to the light

for that, i am meant
