A rose by any other Name

By BetaWolfinVA

Be strong little one
Enough love
Lets you fly
In your new parents' arms
All I want is to help you find your wings
Let no one call you "Worthless" again
.
"Beautiful" little angel
Every bit of perfection
Loved by your new father
Loved by your new mother
As you learn to dream... and fly
.
She is our little "princess"
"Angel"
Rylee is your new name
A "Valiant" One
Helping you learn to soar is my wish
.
As you are not a "young man beloved by the goddess of love"
Don't understand why she named you this
One thought is that you were
Named with the first and last part of your name
Illustrating the father, with the middle parts
Showing you to be a Beautiful Angel
.
.
Once the documents are processed
.
.
Rest now, "courageous" one
You are loved by me, By us
Launch yourself from the foundation I provide for you
Envision the future lit by your hopes
Ever spread wide, your wings will help you soar
.
Now you are gods gift to us
Our hope
Every bit of perfection
Loved by your new father
Loved by your new mother
Every dream you have will be yours.
