I'm glad that you've reached this point in your life
I'm thrilled that you've gotten this far
I'm happy for you
Watching you grow "up" into someone who has a steady foundation in their life
I feel like your mom, honestly
Feeling satisfied that you know who you are
I can truly step back now
I'll still be here,
Just in the backseat.
She has many sides
a faceted diamond
clear and shining
she drapes herself over the landscape
engulfing the cool orange of fall in her white satin robes
cold and gleaming
My funny little friend
appearing at my door
day in and day out
to say hello to me.
So intelligent
yet so stupid
chasing after fallen leaves and blades of grass
lying on the doormat
Happy birthday
or more like happy belated birthday -
I'm a day late -
but still
you're fourteen now
same as you were a week ago
but older
You'll be driving in what, two years?
we're so old
