Celebrating the Little Girl.

Today,

I celebrate.

I celebrate the little girl

in me.

Today,

I blow old candles away

Wishing new joys,

Welcoming hope.

Today,

I drown past worries away.

Gracefully thanking for what I have,

what I am and Will be.

I am a Millionaire!

I would be a millionaire

if I had the money -

You won't believe it!

I do!

I have the wealth

of flowing warmth,

of unconditional friendship,

of joy galore,

of peace ashore.

I am a millionaire

of love lost and deservedly gained,

of lessons cruelly learnt and used,

of soaring spirits after calamity borne,

of pen bent, broken and repaired...

I am a millionaire.

I have the money

of Life!

of Gratitude!
