Blessing Mya

Blessings to you, Mya, only
granddaughter, wearer of pink.
You climb high, run fast, set
your own course among boys.

You always have a gleam in
your eye, love to joke and have
fun, let no one rule you. You
have your own mind. You listen to

what is said, but want to do it
your way.You test limits more
than once, try to wear me down,
but I don't give in, though it would

be easy to give in to you with
such a smile on your face. But
you must know limits and learn to
follow before you can lead. You

have to hold my hand in the
parking lot, cannot run free
as you'd like. Not yet, dear Mya,
not yet, but someday you will

set your own course, do it
your way. You will buck the
tide in a gentle way with
your disarming smile. But not

today when you're in my care.
Today I'll bless your spirit,
your spark. Blessings to you,
Mya, today and all tomorrows.
