The Beginning Poem by Mary Rodriguez

The day you were born; is where your story starts
It's a special day; that I hold close in my heart
A little girl; from a far away land
Unless you've been there; people just won't understand
I traveled to visit the places you wandered
As I heard the Adhan; I sat and pondered
You've become a successful doctor; with a heart of gold
Your compassion and inner beauty; illuminate your soul
I'd take all your burdens and make them my own
I want you to have peace; not feel so alone
I'll do what I can; to protect you from sorrow
I'm here today; I'll be here tomorrow
My heart I give freely, and all that is me
You truly do mean; the world to me
As the years pass; I'll remain by your side
You're my best friend, my person, my ride or die
During life's twists and turns; remember love remains true
Never doubt that my heart; will always choose you
