My Emerald Beauty

“You’re never giving up on me.”

Lyrics play in the background.

It’s a song by Jonathan David Helser, an artist that played at the World Race training camp I attended before a life altering year abroad.

Feeding my new daughter, she fusses as I whisper, “God never gave up on your Mama. He won’t give up on you. I will never give up on you.”

As her emerald eyes look up at me. A true and lovely beauty.
