Birthday Girl
It is her day, but like all the rest she does not see it as so.
Mother, Sister, Daughter, Friend, Confidant, Guide, Partner,
These roles do not stop for her - ever.
Not even on this, the 26th of the 10th month,
Her heart, thoughts, and focus is outwards, even on this day when all others become selfish and absorbed by their own gravity.
This is the essence of her beauty
The ability to hold herself to a higher standard and exceed it
To love with compassion and empathy,
To laugh without self consciousness
to give of herself.
Then there is this boy,
Flawed, but trying to repair his self inflicted holes
He sees the beauty
He desires it
He wishes to grasp it
But he knows first he must earn it.
So on this day of her birth,
He puts words to paper to show her eyes what his see,
His world
His future
His one wish
This Birthday Girl once again gives a gift far greater than she could ever receive
Her heart.
