You deserve so much more
than a few measly words from me.
You deserve ballads and sonnets
that my hands could never compose.

How could I describe you? 
The first thing I ever saw
The first family I ever knew
The first hero I ever admired?

It’s impossible.
Impossible to explain how a fire can thaw the blackest night with ease
Impossible to explain when eternity could ever begin or end
Impossible to explain where a dragon born to ponies belongs in the world
Impossible to explain who could be everything that dragon needed
Impossible to explain why a goddess loves a mortal dragon like her dearest son or brother

You surpassed hero to me. 
You’re my everything.
If I am strong, your strength is a mountain
If I am smart, your smart is the cosmos in its infinite wonders
If I am tough, you are an unbreakable diamond
If I know love, you dressed me in garments of affection and showered me in treasures.

Treasures, that I will horde jealously, of my every memory of you
Treasures of you feeding me gems by a spoon
Treasures of you guiding my first step, my first word
Treasures of you giving me a name, a purpose, a home
Treasures of you ascending to alicorn
Treasures of your smile.

Fears of my identity, of my parentage, of my destiny
flow down the calm river and melt into the water when I feel you
By my side, holding me, lifting me past the stars as you transcend the forever.

I will do my part and be the firewood of your mighty spark
The clouds of your brilliant lightning and deafening winds
The soil of your cherry blossom that rains glory across the earth

As you reach greater heights and greater heights still,
Know that I will follow you to the forever
and stay by your side forever.
