The Gift

There are parts of you
That you will keep close.
Close enough for tears.
I am not afraid of your unknown.
Or your tears.

There are times that I
do not understand.
You take it
Upon yourself
To explain
And I, again, am unafraid.

As you were taught
To walk, and speak
And accept
You do the very same for me
But your innate compassion
Is what I celebrate today.

The presence that is you
Here, on your birthday.
You are the gift
That gives
