YOU SHINE

Note to my daughter on her birthday.

YOU SHINE

it's perceptable in your smile and eyes.

Intelligence shines through like fog breaks

at night when parting happens and the clearness shows through.

Your walls look unbreachable, but only look that way to

someone who doesn't know what you cover.

The soul within so tender and good.

You make me want to be someone better, not to measure in relation to you,

but for you and because of who you are.

How can I ever explain the pride I feel inside when I hear your voice or

look at you? It's useless to even try to explain.

Just always know that you glitter and glow, rooms change when you enter and

no one walks away from you unchanged.

Are you a witch, a b***h, a woman, a girl or all these things?

Only you define your parameters.

The world waits for you to walk where you choose

and know that you can choose where you walk or

fly. Go on your way and know that you will always be the one

who shines.

I love you " Mom.

There is no better human love than that between parent and child. I imagine when she has children she will understand those words you didn't know how to express. Some things are not meant to be confined into the limits of language. This was touching and highly loving plus very beautiful.
