Baby, you played magic

By 点点

Baby, on your twentieth birthday

You played magic that worked

You didn't call, instead you texted

"I feel very much loved."

That line made my heart content

For I always need to be assured that

You are happy, healthy

and have friends to hug

Finally the next day at night

We'd got around to FaceTime

You looked very cute

Even with your nose ring

A tiny crescent moon with a bead

"It doesn't bother me anymore

I do actually like it, and it is true

As I told you before

You'd look good, with or without."

You showed me Polaroid pictures of your birthday party

You glowed and so did your friends

Your smile, your eyes

Shine in the shape of a crescent moon

I told you I got my glamour shots 

That I hadn't thought of doing

For the past twenty years,

not since my wedding day

That was when you said

"Mommy, I want to look like you, 

when I'm turning forty."

Oh honey pie, you played magic, once again

You are indeed a little woman
