with God's Kiss*

Simple Beauty
{I like to think of Chi's birthmark as a kiss from God.  I thought it was a fluke when Mom (aka Oma) identified a perfect heart on my baby's neck... but it remains and it is such a symbol on so many levels that I cannot quantify.}
God's KISSchi chi SMIRK
Just a few minutes
Frozen in time
You, age eight
Carefree
Beautiful
Intelligent
Mine
{for just a little while, I suppose}
[DIPTYCH] CHI
Becoming your own
Figuring out where you want to be
And who you will become
Artist?
Circus Performer?
Teacher?
President?
You ponder
Anything is possible
Be yourself
And you will be amazing.
