watching you grow more comfortable
and becoming yourself again
is the best thing that i have had the blessing of witnessing
every day you bloom
full of smiles and laughter
silly and always seeking to create joy
you look genuinely happy
and it is the most beautiful thing that i have laid my eyes upon
like a once closed flower
you stretch your petals to the sun
and i get to see every breathtaking part of you
you open up fully
and you are thriving
becoming yourself again
and i will cherish every part of you
