Cousin

This card is for my cousin
to give to her granddaughter.

 

Birthdays are for blessings

thank you for being one of mine.

 

Most of all,

Granddaughter,

I want you to be happy

 

Chase your wishes

and follow your dreams.

Carry the sun inside you.

Get a little closer, every single day,

to the hopes that you want to come true.

Reach for your stars,

brighten your days.

Fill your heart in a thousand ways,.

 

Be happy, Granddaughter.

I love you so much

and I wish you such wonderful things.

I wish you joys

only a dreamer would dream

and things only a grandparent

would wish for.

 

May you never forget

that my heart and my hopes

are with you each step of the way.

Happy birthday, Teryn!
