Sixteen.
Little darlin', the world's only going
to get bigger and brighter for you.
You will see wonderful sights,
experience amazing new things,
learn a whole new universe of
thoughts and feelings, taste
more salty tears and hurt
your cheeks from smiling so
widely and laughing too much.
People will let you down,
men will break your heart,
friends will come and go,
family will arrive and leave.
But your spirit will grow with
every year that passes and
there will be a day when you
realise that you have come
into your own. That you are
your own person, not by any
other standard, but yours.
(You are almost there, to me.)
You are a beautiful, beautiful soul.
Do not let the world change that.
And if anyone ever makes you feel
otherwise - I got your back, kiddo.
Happy birthday, little goofball.
Maksu loves you.
