a poem for my daughter on her ninth birthday
You taught me to stop
and smell the dandelions,
to value toes-in-wet-grass.
You showed me the beauty
in earthworms,
glory in dirt-under-the-nails.
You remind me to forgive and
to seek forgiveness,
to desire redemption-in-hugs.
You, my girl, showed me love
both fierce and sweet,
the Jesus-loves-me-kind.
The world is better
– I am better –
for nine-years-of-you.
