Prime shipping:   
baby, special delivery!  
Overnight,   
plus thirteen years.  
  
Here is my teenager  
I've made her  
I've grown her  
I've kept her alive and thriving  
I've made it through.   
  
In this moment, on a sunny day   
this child, and she is still my child, always,  
is beaming, cheeks wide, eyes bright.  
  
She is grateful, she feels revered,   
she is bouncing about   
with the joy of birthday celebrations.  
  
Now that the hard stuff is through  
all that's ahead is easy sailing.  
  
*Who's going to tell her.*  
Who's going to tell me, what?  
Not a single one of you.
