To My daughter with love,

As I closed my eyes in search of finding you the most beautiful words to gift you with today, suddenly the time of the past rushed in and took me by a storm, down to a visit into a memory lane that was more beautiful than any words I could have ever imagined.

To a time when,

I first saw you and held you in arms

The first time You took my breath away as I smelled you 

The first time I heard you cry 

The first time I fed you and bade you

The first time I saw your candy smile

And heard you say mommy

The first time you took your first step, to the first time you saw your dog Daisy and forgot to kiss me as much.

What can I say, love has its own mind and no heart at times. 

As these Images where prancing around me, tears of joy started pouring down showering my soul with bliss, and as I was deep under the spell of time, I realized that there is no gift greater than all that you have ever gifted me with, i am truly lucky and grateful to have you in my life.

I am so proud of all you have accomplished and stand for. I admire your will for achieving anything you truly desire, a skill much needed for the making all of your dreams a reality. 

My D, your wisdom proceed your years, your strength, strengthens my heart, your courage inspires me, your sense of humor and free soul captures me, your inner and outer beauty humbles me, and your charm along with your undeniable grace melts my heart. 

Seeing you grow up has been nothing but the most meaningful and miracolous years of my life, you have thought me so much about being a mother.

And as you stand here today shinning bright before embarking on a new journey,

A journey into the making of yourself

A self that no one can ever take away from you

A self that will direct and define you 

A self that is passionate and wise

A self that has an undeniable thirst for life

A self that won’t invite anger, jeliousy and hatred to contaminate, distort and dictate her pure world 

A self that is driven by ethics and morals

A self that values her worthiness

A self that has Jimmy the cricket by her side at all times

as a reminder to live a conscious and conscientious life 

A self that thanks the past for all her gifts and experiences gained

A self tthat thanks the present for bringing her each moment to color and create

A self that has trust in the future to lit up her way so she can pick the fruits of her labor in a timely manner when it's ready and ripe

A self that knows, that although, beauty, wisdom, power and wealth in every manner are great things to acquire, but one must never loose themselves in their fooling demise. 

A self that is compassionate, humble and true

And in this making of your greatest self, I want to wish upon you

To hear, feel and  become one with every note and every rhythm of this vast universe

To take notice of all the beauty's that was, is, and will be created right before your eyes

To have a flirtatious love affair with all of nature 

The birds, the bees, the mountains, the fountains, the oceans and the seas.

To seduce the wilderness and bring the fire to its knees

To nourish the soil, and kiss all of her seed

To find the beauty in every whisper and in every kiss, and to cherish the miracolious humility that resides within every sweet moment, and see the God, The love in it

For all of your senses may be aroused and awakened, so you may compose an ever lasting symphony of love and of life.

Your masterpiece!

I love you so much, and wish you a life time filled with magic and prosperity. 

Please always remeber that the future belongs to those who dare to imagine beyond the borders of the possible. 

Mommy
