A Happy Birthday Poem to My Daughter

Happy Birthday!

Dear Alyssa,

You disarm me with your beauty,
You amaze me with your talent,
You surprise me with your humor,
You delight me with your song.
You engage me with your knowledge,
You speak of truth and empathy,
I have loved you since before you were born.
I have loved you forever long.
Happy 17th Birthday!

Love, Mom
