to you more than others have experienced the pain
to you that you have hidden a treasure trove of quiet modesty and truth
to you that you cried unashamed
to you that when you have not had safe harbors
with courage you have searched for new
to you that you have not surrendered to the rancor
and you had a smile for me even if you did not have
To you that have lived with a difficult comparison
To you who do not love the limelight and the ego uses sparingly
In these eyes have seen you girl, girl, woman
To you who look like me all over
to you that in this day of celebration should collect your harvest
my prayer and my hug loving, sincere, ever.
That nature will recognize as the most precious of creatures
May people learn to look within so that we understand what you are worth
And, finally, that God, loving father, could delight in you.
