Gone are the days of childhood past,
Your womanly quest is calling.
So open your mind, your heart, your soul
And abandon the fear of falling.
For love is the only falling you need,
To fall in love is bliss.
But remember to love yourself the most
Or your lover's hand, you'll miss.
May you live your life in a peaceful world
Which honors your creative spirit.
The passion you hold for life itself,
Is sure to find endearment.
So whatever challenges come your way,
With every new tough endeavor,
I hope these words will remain with you...
'Your mother will love you forever.'
(Su Madre Le Amará Para Siempre...I wrote to my daughter, Mackenzie, for her 18th birthday)
