Poem
On a bitter cold snowy, snowy day She entered the world her own way My sweet courageous daughter 'Shelly Beautiful blue eyes and a Fire in her belly Bubble gum stuck in her curly blonde hair With a heart full of compassion to share Always up for a double dare Full of life"s hardest unanswerable questions These are some of my heartfelt recollections A child so full of incessant meandering chatter There were days I felt like the Mad Hatter But then she'd flash an impish grin Propelling my perplexed heart to pitter patter She never grasped what was the matter For 'Shelly was steeped in innocent love to flatter A cherished memory she loved to pursue To climb aboard her rocking horse and yell "Yahoo" There wasn't much that little girl thought was taboo When I think of her now, I say, " Good for You!" She's charming, alarming and so full of wit As I've come to realize, my Darling Daughter has Grit Of course, I was much older then, I'm younger then that now But I hope you don't mind from time to time If I access from the corner of my little girl files of dance recitals, volleyball MIP's, and soccer uniforms An absolutely fearless solo jet ski mile with your signature smile Your first pearl necklace, grown up dress and shared color forms If I could imprint these weaved words into a locket For you to keep it in your pocket and read during life storms My message would be I'm with you as your life transforms Although sometimes we dance to different drummers What wonderful memories we have of shared summers Your brave and bright, a novel delight, I don't always get it right I pray nothing more for you then you reach YOUR height whatever that may be and that your journey is filled with inspiring insight as your dreams take flight Because I am your mother and I Love you with all my might As I reminisce the day of your Birth I am proud of the value you brought to this earth You have loved and lost and felt remorse And still you climbed back on your rocking horse My, what courage that implies as you dried your eyes But then ...Silly me....Your a force, of course! and I LOVE you and your re SOURCE fulness ~Happy Birthday Michelle~
