Today is a special dedication to a young lady who turns 11 on Sunday.
I am lucky, for she calls me Mom.
And I’d like to believe, this would be how she’d summarize her year gone by…
Funny, but time does indeed flyI think my yesterdays were pretty fineSo many moments were on cloud nineEvery day, the only that will beFrom here I’ll carve my destinyWhether on sand or on stoneOnly perseverance will tell aloneSo, I believe it’s time to celebrateThe good I am, the great I’ll get!I fill my heart with joy and hopeLife is nothing but a kaleidoscopeLessons of wisdom in patterns mereReflecting the laughter, resounding the cheer!

Happy 11th birthday in advance to the young lady. The title of your post reminded me of these lines by Elton John “There’s a time for everyone, if they only learn. That the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn”. Life is truly a kaleidoscope. Well said.
Ah, another great set of words…thanks Suzy.
Happy birthday in advance to a thoughtful and kind young lady – with a Mom like you, she sure is going to have a colorful life.
You just love us both, don’t you?
First, Advanced birthday wishes to the little lady.
Aww…that is a writer in the making – carved out of gold, nothing less:-) Give her a tight hug for me. Tell her she has good pedigree 😉
Cheers

Thanks Laxmi. This is what I penned after speaking to her about the year gone by. But, yes, someday, she will get there. Will pass on your wishes to her, for sure!
When I was eleven I longed to be older. Now that I am I long to be eleven again. Sigh

A very happy 11th birthday to your princess. You’ve captured her thoughts so well. I got a glimpse of greatness waiting to bloom and a mother who feels mixed emotions, but mostly pride and delight.
Thank you for all the kind words and wishes. Yup, a daughter is priceless.
First of all birthday wishes to the young lady . Eleven is a magical age …on the brink of adolescence and so many changes taking within you and outside you . Such a lovely B’day gift this is 🙂 I am sure she’ll cherish it throughout the years to come 🙂 and a big hug to both of you 🙂
