Birthday poem for my niece

As you settle into year 15,
 reflect upon what came before.
The 14 years of being you,
allll creatures/people you adore.

There have of course been troubled times -
Life does not spare the least of us.
But these misfortunes must not blind,
The chance to grow a little more.

Your willful beauty, strength of poise,
undoubted talent, all employs ...
To make you who the world does see.
Now we; we see much more - for sure!

A gentle empathetic heart,
The understated counterpart,
Of outward guise. We love this part!
And wish you joy, with all candour.

Happy Birthday beautiful girl!
