Happy Birthday, My Baby Girl

I am grateful to God,
and He chose you as the vessel of His grace
for making my life beautiful.

You are the first thought that stirs me awake,
the last whisper I breathe before sleep claims me.
You are the gravity that keeps my wandering heart
fixed in one place home, wherever you are.

My baby girl,
you have turned ordinary days into sonnets,
turned silence into music I cannot stop hearing,
turned a simple life into a love story
I never imagined I deserved.

I look at you and still see
the girl who stole my breath,
the woman who owns it completely now,
and every dream I didn't know I had
until your eyes held mine
and I forgot what loneliness ever felt like.

Another year of you
is another year of wonder,
another year of being chosen by you
the grace I never earned
but get to keep, fiercely, wholly, forever.

You are my favorite place,
my softest landing,
my wildest fire.

Happy birthday, my love.
My heart is full because you are in it.
And empty when you're not near.

I love you. Always yours.
