A Special Gift

Yesterday was my birthday. I took the day off from writing except for a tweet, a few status messages and replies to birthday greetings on Facebook. I really needed a break and enjoyed every minute of my day.  I spent lots of time with my family, went out to both lunch and dinner and even got to see my parents.

I wanted to share one of my presents from my 12 year old daughter Mackenna. She wrote this poem the night before my birthday. She asked hubby to print it out, and she mounted it on red (my favorite color) construction paper.  I can't tell you how touched I was and continue to be by her words.

She'll Love Me by Mackenna McClone

From the day I was born
She loved me
And until I die
She'll love me
No matter where I go
She'll love me
And no matter how life goes
She'll love me
In rain or shine day or night
She'll love me
And down the road when she'll go
I'll love her and
She'll love me
  

Hope you have a wonderful Friday!
