May you be so!
May you love
the unloved things,
the dandelion, the worm,
& the spiderlings.
May you feel
the roses & lemons;
the same way
you sense the thorns.
May you run towards
rain-swept meadow,
the same way
you look at sun & snow!
May you relish
the sweetness of labor,
in the manner
you savor the grandeur!
May you be the voice
for the unspoken one;
may you lend ear
to the lonely man!
May you reach the height
you so very deserve,
yet be grounded,
sober & so gentle!
May you, my baby,
be one in a zillion;
In you, I see all virtues,
a personification!
...Mamma
