Marissa, My Sunshine
From your very first breath, my sweet sunshine
you’ve colored my world with a light so divine.
A super achiever, with excellence you lead,
For Adam and Nick, you planted the seed.
Top of your class, with hard work you flew,
Your dedication and strength saw you through.
In New York’s swirl, we ventured, hand in hand,
Joffrey Ballet and the city so grand.
You married young, and though tough years came,
Five beautiful children now carry your name.
Through life’s hard lessons, you’ve only grown strong,
Rising above when others go wrong.
Though miles apart, our hearts never stray,
Your smile, your laughter, brighten each day.
With a loving touch, you chase clouds away,
Making everything better, come what may.
Today is a day to be happy and bright,
Because better times are now in sight. You are wiser now and stronger to,
Be strengthened knowing that I love you.
