{a note to a friend}

my dear friend,

Oh, if the world only knew then. How bright this girls smile is, how deep her lovely pondering eyes have penetrated the globe's soul. Or, how her words add unmeasurable beauty to this world.

It's your birthday today.

I hope you wake up knowing how much the world loves you. You have given so much to the people who walk this planet, & you deserve any and all good things that make their way to you.

Throughout the day, I hope memories both good and bad knock on your door and visit. They will tell you their stories of how they have shaped the woman you are today.

And in the evening, let the serene darkness show you how endless your future will be. You have the power to de-rail your train and lay new tracks wherever necessary. Live in the present of the moment you are in. Unwrap it's delicate ribbon and smile from the heart at whatever is inside.

It's your birthday today.
