Christina

In my mind thoughts do constant swirl,

Leaves that rustle playfully twirl,

I vex the future looking meek,

But now through veil the light it peaks.

 

Women now, once a baby held,

My confidence in her excelled,

Today my heart is very proud,

She takes her place in world unbound.

 

In quiet moments of her doubt,

Uncertain shadows loom and clout,

A fire within her gently glows,

A strength unseen, yet fiercely shows.

 

Her spirit, like a mountain high,

Unyielding, steadfast 'neath the sky,

She faces storms with grace and might,

A beacon in the darkest night.

 

Whispers of doubt may taunt and tease,

Her heart beats on with courage, ease,

In her soul, a warrior stands,

With dreams held tightly in her hands.

 

So, rise, dear niece, and take your place,

For in your heart, there's endless space,

To conquer fears, to reach new heights,

You're such a star, shining bright.

 

Remember this, and always know,

Your strength is boundless, let it show,

In every step, in every stride,

You are so strong, with love your guide.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I’m actually writing this on the eve of a monumental accomplishment for my niece Christina, tomorrow she will be purchasing her first house. She is so beautiful, and kind and strong. She has no idea how proud I am of her and her accomplishments. I have full confidence in her abilities, and I love her so much!
