Joan's Gift Valentine

I was brought up laughing
And always felt seen
I ate kindness for breakfast
And was never corrected
But always shown what to do
How to fix it
If I wanted to
I wanted for nothing slowly
But to be good as you
Fearless as evil but true
To something greater than myself
To learn what you always knew
How to be my own parent
And keep my childhood new
