Life Partners by adante & Scout age 15

 

Though they come in many different sizes, shapes, and colors,

They all need one thing-

To be loved by a person who treats them as their own child.

Once they accomplish that,

Their rider needs to learn to become one with them.

Only then will they be able to paint the wind together.

 

If they trust each other completely,

They’ll run with the wind and never lose.

With gossamer brush strokes,

They’ll paint the land and blend into one,

Never to be separated,

Together forever.

Life partners.
