On the night you were born,

the moon smiled with such wonder

that the stars peeked in to see you 

and the night whispered,

"Life will never be the same."

Because there had never been anyone like you...

ever in the world.

For never  before in story or rhyme

(not even once upon a time)

has the world ever known a you, my friend,

and it never will, not ever again...

Heaven blew every trumpet

and played every horn

and the wonderful, marvelous

night you were born.

(From the book On the Night You Were Born by Nancy Tillman)

On Friday little A turned one!

 Oh how fast time flies!

Our Shining Light (her name meaning). 

My little True.

Mama loves you.
