today is special––
it marks the day
on the calendar
when your mom
brought you
into this world
with great pride
it was a miracle
& a mystery
as every birth
is a miracle
& a mystery
it warms
our hearts
to see you
smile––
& we know
we can trust you
absolutely
because
that’s the way
you are
inside
i am so blessed
to be
close––
to be
with you
on this day
to celebrate
your beautiful
being
with pure
happiness
