Today you stand
to face the world
no longer a girl
but
A beautiful woman
ready to share
your beauty
with others
for your suffering
made you strong
your loss
made you compassionate
your feeling of emptiness
caused you to give
all the sorrows
became the fertilizer
that caused you to
bloom into
A beautiful woman
now ready
to change the world
Happy Birthday...
I believe in you.
