Ruby 

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

Ruby 

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
