Love
she was born in the evening
after a day of shopping at Tiffany's
eating at Barney's Green Grass
on a warm October day
in California
9lbs 2 oz
she was pink
and cherubic
followed her sister
into this world
we thought about
having her
and there she was
ready to rock n roll
make her mark
no hesitation
pure participation
no inhibitions
complete joy
trust in her parents
and the universe

Love
thank you
for teaching me
how to be
allowing me
to make mistakes
catching me when i fail
to be the mom that u need
you have forgiven me
unconditionally
helped me to let go
of my perfectionistic behavior
pushing me out of my comfort zone
into a new way of being
carefree, playful and free

Love
your future looks bright
who will you be?
a teacher, a dancer, a mother, a CEO?
i don't know
we'll have to wait and see
that is a mystery
but i do know you will make history
and this world is a better place
because you are here
