My little niece, Pearl, is turning two next week, so this is for her-

May you fall, so you may rise May your horizons surpass your skies May your future fill your eyes May you make mistakes that make you wise May your laughs outnumber your cries May you wear your beauty, undisguised May you stumble, so you may sympathize May love take you by surprise May you catch the light of fireflies May your dreams flower to full size May you hear your song - and harmonize. 10/10/18

Don't quite have the technical savvy to add a picture of her, but I will probably put it in a frame for them-

This was obviously a well penned wish for a very well loved child. Well done and very good advice.

That was beautiful, simply beautiful. You need to keep a copy of this to show her when she is a little older, she we love it.
