it's been 21 years....

21 years since the first
most amazing
day of my life
21 years of so many
joys, and just a few
heartaches
for 21 years i have been
constantly amazed by you
and for 21 years i have
been filled with awe & wonder
that you were given to me
to shepherd through the years
to nurture and hold in trust
until this, the first day
of your 21st year, arrived
i am so proud of the
beautiful & strong young woman
you have become
happy birthday babe!
i love you
mom
