Happy Birthday Chloe !
You lay
Where they placed you
A Bundle of Love
Soft and warm
Against my skin
Exhausted
From the twisting, shoving
Little trooper ! ….
You fought for your place
Here
Relaxed
In the knowing
You were adored
Courage exuded
From every
innocent pore
Each limb
Extended
…little shoots
of solid oak
A strength
transplanted
from your mother’s love
HAPPY 11th Birthday, My Darling Daughter Chloe xoxoxo

How sweet it is…
Hi there, Chloe! Uncle Tree wishes you a very happy birthday!
There is something special about teeny-weeny baby feet.
Adults never outgrow the softly cooed tenderness of infancy.
Nurture your hopes and dreams
and your tomorrows will bring aplenty.
Cheers to the fruits of your future involvements! 🙂 UT

Thank you for your lovely message UT. I look forward to witnessing all the exciting and rewarding experiences Chloe is bound to create in her life. You might see me with her one day at the Oscars 🙂
