I love Audrey Faye the Same Way I Love Auggie Faye
Audrey, don’t float away. You’re only as light as a cloud.
Fragile like thin ice over a puddle during the first freeze of the season.
Lifeless like a balloon without helium.
Drained like a phone battery at one percent.
However, surprisingly resilient at one percent,
Still defying gravity with a small kick,
Shockingly satisfying crunch when shattered,
Good thing you’re tethered because you’re only as light as a cloud.
But Auggie?
Strong like a bull, loud like a blow horn, nurturing like Madonna.
Sunday school had nothing on you,
You didn’t believe in life above the clouds, only life in the clouds.
