Family: September Birthday Wish Nici Poem by Margaret Alice

I wish you love, so much love, more love
than you can hold, for your fourteenth
birthday; I wish you happiness, all you can
dream of and then some, for the years to
come; I wish you the excitement of
conquering obstacles to add challenge
and sweet victory to the new year of your
life; I wish you adventures, new discoveries
and strange inventions; wonderful mysteries
and the elation of revelations for all the days
of your life; most of all, I wish you’ll retain
the message you have lived until now: To
love all people and animals and cherish all
things on this earth and beyond - for ever
more; love being the reason for existence;
I wish you Wisdom, the Gift of Discernment
with which to tackle the life of a grown-up…
With all my love, for ever and ever; Mama.
