Spread Your Wings And Fly

---

This daughter of mine…

Was a Flying Pig…wore a pig stole…a pig hat…hung around with other Flying Pigs…it was a big deal…quite an honor…

And for once…was not in the shadow of those sisters of hers…she danced…so did they…she twirled…so did they…won pageants…sang solos…played soccer…but…so did they…

The baby…the youngest…always in the shadow…taking a back seat…Thing 2…never Thing 1…the N in fun…never…the FU…

But that daughter of mine…never felt that way…the FU way about those sisters of hers…she their biggest cheerleader…she…their biggest fan…

And she…a Flying Pig…the only Flying Pig in the family…First Lego League Robotics…offered to a select few middle schoolers…

And so today…we celebrate our Flying Pig…her accomplishments…the amazing young woman she’s grown to be…

Happy Happy Birthday…oh daughter of mine…you may be third in line…but you will always be Number 1…in this mama’s heart…

Spread those wings and fly…can’t wait to see…where life takes you…
​
And those sisters of yours…agree…
