Writers Island Prompt " Magic" coincided with my daughters Birthday! How delightful, she is in London on business having the time of her life!
"It's been Magic"
“Can you smell a rainbow?”
A question you asked me at four.
Purple Doc martins at eight,
Your childhood metaphor
With the Changes at ten,
Far beyond your control,
You braved the turmoil
Executing a grownup role
Twelve was a predecessor
For how you live today,
When you organized the movers
In such a professional way
At thirteen your spirit owned you
Securing all your might
Listening for obscure direction
That would honor your delight
Fourteen, responsible, reliable
Ethical, delightful, just divine
I was grateful and perplexed
At how god made you mine
Yet I knew he sent you
As a precious reward
To ease my childhood scars
So my soul could be restored
Loyal at fifteen years old
Creative with a unique style
Never following the roguish crowd
Certain people you’d beguile
Winning a leadership rank
At work and school, did pay
Labeled with distinction then
Has brought you here today
Your drive and dedication
In your younger years
Is paying off in a life of dreams
Beginning to adhere
You always chose a higher road
Believing along the way
That you could manifest your dreams
In a distinctive way
Oh there’ve been hurdles
Most would have felt defeat
But something powerful within
You were forced not to retreat
Just like magic, your life
Took a amazing turn
There you are in
With aspirations to learn
This wonderful expedition
Your manifested dream
Earned by your endurance,
honest ethical regime
Astonishing liberated woman
At the beginning of your success
With a natural business acumen
And a huge world to impress!
You Go girl!
Happy Twenty second birthday my darling daughter
I always knew you were a cut above!
Love you with all my heart and soul!
Stay safe in
I am so grateful for you!

Sherrie, your perfect words are such a moving, loving tribute to such a Fun, fantastic, 'grown up' little girl! I love the way you took us on a (magical) journey through all her precious years! Simply beautiful, Simply YOU.
The 'mother/daughter relationship' you've painted is one I had always hoped to achieve in either role.
