So I had another BIRTHDAY on April 30th. My Mom planned a dinner party with some of my lifelong friends and surprised me by flying my sister Amy in from New York. It was a fun weekend, even though I have been dreading this particular mile marker on the journey that is life.
Birthdays are moments in time when I was meant to arrive into this life experience. If I had been
born at any other time, I would be a completely different person. And yet it
seems that looking back, I spent much of my time and energy wishing I looked
like someone else or had a different
life. Why do we do that? Let’s ENJOY this time by accepting who we are, as is, and
be HAPPY on this BIRTHDAY! Of course this makes me think (MMT) and write a SONG about it…
Turning of an age
I see the candles on a cake
And wonder where am I suppose to be by now?
On a no back track
I picture what lies up ahead
And make myself get out of the bed to take next steps...
Moving into
chapter two
On to thirty
Forty, fifty
Birthdays
Celebrate
Life is good
When we're living
Presently
OoooOH, presently
Friends and family call
To wish me well, posts on the wall
Bring out a smile, inside I still feel like a child
Do I blow a wish?
Or is it more about the breath?
That I take in to capture moments of alive
Moving into
Chapter two
On to thirty
Forty, fifty
Birthdays
Celebrate
Life is good
When we're living
Presently
OoooOH, presently
Learning to be healthy is happy
Loving and feeling it all
Now choosing the things I want to receive
Throwing the other trash out
Writing a new
Chapter two
On to thirty
Forty, fifty
Unafraid!
Celebrate
Life is good
Loving and living
Presently
OooooOH, presently

Happy 13th Birthday Kaiya Marie
Kaiya Marie
-Love, Mom, by Shawna Ray
Her eyes see the sky
Her smile cheers and warms
Her ideas bring forth life
Her strength moves through storms
Her light brings in the day
Her wisdom is a guide
Her humor fills and frees
Her beauty is pure, divine
A stellar star
Dancing to her own beat
Creative and witty
Strong, friendly, unique
She is smart, fun and good
Beautiful inside and out
Spunky, free
And wacky (in a good way)
Colorful, intuitive,
Interesting, independent
She is gifted, aware
Chosen, Spirited
A peaceful, present sweetheart
She is directive, dramatic
Musical, playful,
Crafty and curious
Daughter, sister, granddaughter, friend
She loves to laugh and talk
And listens with understanding
A teen in the process of becoming
She is loved and lovely
The one and only...Kaiya Marie
Happy 13th Birthday to my baby girl/beautiful teenager making her way through the challenging middle school season. It will get better. Look for the good as you continue on this journey through life.
Live, Give, Love, Laugh, Learn...
I love you and will always be your biggest fan, Mom
