Oh Portland. 

Thank you for the reminder that it's not (always) necessary 

to go big, break-the-bank, over-the-top. 

Most times it's the little things that spread sunshine and smiles. 

Happy Valentine's Day, Portland, all year long.

give a little love with your heart,

I want to be a writer

every wish, one dream

Every dandelion blown

each Star light, star bright,

The first star I see tonight. 

My wish is always the same.

Every fallen eyelash

and first firefly of summer . . .

The dream remains.

What did you wish for?

To be a writer.

Every heads-up penny found

and daydream and night dream

and even when people say it's a pipe dream . . . !

I want to be a writer.

--excerpt from brown girl dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson

A brown girl 

with the same dream.

No way!

it may seem,

but the fire

inside

will always burn.

So pen to paper,

continue to learn.

Blow out the candle,

my wish is made.

Let go, believe.

To God I've prayed:

I want to be a writer.
