POP QUOTE: For The Most Gifted Girl I Know

ME. 

Nah. Just kiddin'.

FOR MY BABY SISTER, M.

You have the voice that can make people stay and listen - so sing.

You have the fingers that make others forget their problems for a moment - so keep playing.

You have the rhythm in your soul - so dance.

You have the strokes that speak to the world - so keep drawing.

You give up on your gifts, your passion, your music, your art... you die. And I don't even have to lift a finger to do it. It's something you can decide to do on your own.

You weren't given gifts to keep hidden, but to show to the world, to use as a weapon, to turn into gold.

Never give up. Never lose hope. Never say "I can't"; because if you do, then I will say, "I won't".

I believe in you too much to be nice. You know that. So GO. BELIEVE. TRUST. DO. Because no matter what happens, I will be here...

to push you, nudge you, kick you, slap you, hit you, try to break you - until you realise that the only way to make me stop is for you to BE WHAT WE WANT YOU TO BE. ;-)
