For Esther

you came in the midst

of my broken pieces

offered me light and love

when i thought i wasn’t worthy

thank you for your heart

for all your sass and sap

for your laughter that lifts the room

i love you forever and always

-Beluh

Beluh pronounced BEE-LA is a nickname that my siblings gave me when they couldn’t pronounce my name. It stuck and never left.

appreciating the ones you love is essential. show them your love. lavish it.
