Tenth

The world is swirling, but you are my stillness. You are purpose and meaning, hope and promise. You are grace.

I prayed for you for as long as my heart knew itself. In all shades of darkness, you are my Lucia Eliana, the “light of God’s answer”.

I celebrate you by offering you to the one who granted you. May God use you as a transforming force of change, peace, compassion, and joy for the world. God knows you are all that to me already.

Happy 10th birthday, my one true love.
