No mother could be prouder
Of the infant to child
The teenager to adult
That you have become
With obvious insecurities
To seasoned confidences
From fears and trepidations
To successes and conquests
With molding and shaping
Your character blooming
Showing love and kindness
To joy and gratitude
Always respectful
Quietly inquisitive
Always striving
Wanting knowing of more
For simply just who you are
I hope you’ll carry
My love always close
To nurture and comfort
For no matter the year
No matter the decade
You’ll always be mine
And I’ll always yours

Congratulations, Taruna. I thought you had turned 18 but that’s because of the striking resemblance. I am very happy you had a great day with her. Enjoy many more birthdays together.
