dear iris ....a letter painting

dear iris,

i give you five angels.........two are silly, two are relaxed, that leaves the last one, who tends to be a bit stern.
i was told you needed these for this long life you will live.

i give you the home you had to leave and played in......keep your innocence iris, keep it until you are one hundred and one......keep it when others try to take it away from you......keep it for the children you might have someday.......keep it for the ones you will love.......keep it for love it will serve you well.

i give you a soft cloud to sleep on..........so that you continue to dream as big as the universe.

i give you love and light because you deserve them........you are love and light.......and they are better and brighter because of this.

i love you,
mom
