Beautiful Darling,

You are the sweetest gift and I adore you.  

You are a bright young girl and the whole world is in front of you.  

Take things as they come and you will weather well.  

Go everywhere.  

Be brave and strong and free.  

Keep your eyes and ears and heart wide open.  

Look for the goodness all around you.  

And when you feel small in this great big world, be still.  

Think of your beautiful roots.  

They are deep and true and will allow you to stretch far.  

So go into the world and let your little light shine.  

And always remember you are loved and blessed and the littlest one that ever stole my heart.

Yours Always.
