A poem from a proud mother to her achieving daughter.
Shining Star
| Sometimes things in life, don't always work out as planned, hard to find the rhyme or reason, sometimes it's hard to understand. And life isn't a bowl of cherries, sometimes there's nuts along the way, but the day I gave birth to you, Allyson, well, that was my very proudest day. You've simply been an constellation, and I'm so utterly proud of you, I'm proud of exactly who you are, and I'm very proud of what you do. Allyson, I think you're a very special young woman, you've been a joy to have as a daughter, you've so many talents and skills, and I'm your number one supporter. Now I know that you're a "clean freak", worse than me and that says it all, but whenever I think of you, I feel about ten feet tall. Generally, I don't like to give advice, because at times its been known to rock the boat, but please remember to keep the lid down, because kittens (unlike floaties) don't float ! Now your father was a good man, but we were just too young I guess, still no regrets from my past, because you've turned out as one of the best. But life has a way of working out, or at least that's the way it seems, because now I've been married to Tim, and he is the husband (and step father) of my dreams. The truly amazing piece of this tale, and still today, I'm truly amazed, that all the way through high school, you kept on getting straight A's. Now you're teaching K-six and special ed, sharing your skills with those most in need, you've always put others before yourself, and this is just another selfless deed. You maintain your own apartment, despite having all this on your plate, and before these lines come to an end, there's one other thing that I'd like to state. You see, I've never had to raise my voice to you, Allyson, you've simply been a joy to raise, and the days that we've spent together, well, they've been my happiest of days. You have always worked so very hard, you've always been such a trier, and they say: "What goes around, comes around", so I believe you've earned your heart's desire. With you I've achieved heaven on earth, and there's not many people who can say just that, just know that I'm very proud of you, but of course, that's a matter of fact. I'm proud that you made the dean's list, and that you've managed to buy your car, and I love you more than the moon and the sky. Indeed, you are my one and only shining star. |

Julie kindly replied:Hi Allen, Your poem is a wonderful tribute to my daughter, it is so touching. I think the only change I will have you make is to take the two paragraphs about Tyler's and Nick's dads out (Ed: omitted) . I know that they were a part of her life but now that I see them on paper I just don't think they need to be there. Other than that I think you did a wonderful job on this poem and I know there will be some tears shed when we read it together. Thank you so much for capturing how I feel about my Shining Star. I don't mind if you publish this poem and you don't have to change the names. I want to pick the single rose (what else) as the paper it is printed on. If you don't mind I would like the poem autographed and I would like the original draft. Thanks so much again Allen, this sure is a treasure to have and needless to say I will be ordering again. Could you please let me know what the total is on this package? Thanks so much, Julie Mooso
P.S. When you send my package please send lots of extra cards, I would like to pass them out to my co-workers.
I work at Wyeth Ayerst Labs (which makes Advil) which is a very big facility and I showed your poem around today and had a lot of people ask for your card so I hope you send me some. Thanks again Allen and I will be in touch again. Julie Mooso
Hi Allen, Just wonderful, what else can I say? Thanks again so much for your wonderful talent and I will be in touch after I think for a while on Nick's poem, I will have to be very careful with that one. You told me that I get the economy package free, can I pay the extra $20 and upgrade that to the same package as this poem? (Ed: Yes, well at least to the Unique :) Let me know and I guess this one is a wrap. Thanks so much Allen, Julie
