"Life has loveliness to sell,
All beautiful and splendid things,
Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
Soaring fire that sways and sings
And children's faces looking up
Holding wonder like a cup."
~ Sara Teasdale

The toddler years now gone; and yet, the wonder in the eyes, the expectation on the face, the reaching for things just out of reach, the hopefulness; all these remain in the young lady who was first my daughter and is now my friend. I love you Nyssa.
