Panes

Glass
Transparent
for the most part

Mirrors
Reflections
hide the flaws

Cracks
Can appear
pieces don’t fall

Shatter
Unrecognisable
as part of what was

Isn’t
there
anymore

I wrote this not because my state of mind was low at the time of writing, it just came out this way with the photo chosen.

Happy Birthday Daughter # 1

March 25, 2013 by ramblingsfromamum

25th March 1983
a little princess was handed to me
chubby cheeks and darkened hair
my first born baby girl my daughter
tears of joy and happiness
with so much love I could not speak
She grew into a girl with spirit
a girl with wants and humour
infectious
a girl who now
is a remarkable young woman
one that I can say of whom I’m very proud

there was no teenage rebellion
her grades were high
her fortitude strong
a girl that strived from day one
to be the best that she could be

and yes we have had our battles
like daughter/mothers do
but we ‘know’ each other well
and today it’s your 30th birthday
where has that gone I ask?
those years when I first held you
to now
the time has moved too fast

I wish you happiness in life
and all it has to offer
your were my first born little girl
and what I wish to say is
I send you love and give you hugs
on this your Very Special Day
