For my Pretty Rosebud


it took me sometime to think and ponder of what I have to say to you on this very special day.

Looking back, holding you In my arms, so fragile in all those five pounds in weight; I couldn’t believe you have grown such a beautiful person. Is that you my dear?

Until now I am amazed of your presence in my life . . . is this the baby I bore twenty years ago? That tiny babe whom I spent sleepless nights with . . .changing nappies, mixing formulas in the wee small hours of the morning and singing lullabies ‘til I dropped?

Amazed is the word that is fit to describe my feelings about you. the moment I got hold of you... the moment I took a good look at you. . . what a sight to behold! I marveled at your existence! I spent my waking hours looking at you . . . every line and creases of your skin is a joy to behold . . . every moment spent with you is bliss.

today my dear, you marked another milestone In your life, two decades to be exact. Still my astonishment hasn’t changed – you’re still that babe that I used to lull into sleep in my weary arms; the babe that made me a natural woman . . . the babe that given my life meaning . . . the babe that gave me strength and courage.

I cannot offer you grandiose celebration on your natal day, for you knew the very reason. But I can give you all the love i’ve got in this world. A love no person on earth could take away from you. a love meant only for you.

May our love for each other grow stronger until the next decades of our lives; and let no circumstances alter or come in between the two of us.

I will love you, always;
