Annika.
All I ever wondered
All I ever wanted
To dream and draw as you do
To be as graceful as you
You opened to me the reason to create
It's not easy to create beauty
Even if on paper
You did it so simply and sweetly
A God of paper
You drove lightning into my soul
Showing to me a reason to grow
Expand my strokes beyond the middle
Each stroke like a branch to a tree
Make a silhouette of everything I am
Everything I find important for you to know
I'm just beginning learning to walk on pebbles
You lead the way dancing on rocks
My fairy teacher you showed to me the way
The way to create something beautiful
It's more than just pencil and paper
It means a smile or a tear
It means emotion
To express is to grow
Never regret a stroke in your canvas life
It only helped your roots extend
My dancing teacher so wise
She showed to me the meaning of creating
Something school could never show to me
My teacher of everything
You showed to me what it means to leave
To ache to not be taught
My inspiration still grows everyday
Only because you struck me with that lightning
I'd thank you forever
For always and ever
To make me a new person
You created something to be beautiful
To create beautiful
To dream beautiful beyond a horizon.
