Our baby was born so handsome, admired.
Whitest smooth skin, eyes like sapphire.
Her smile was a picture, that bought tears to eyes,
Of freedom and adventure. Unique! We realized.
Growing up our baby did remarkable things:
Drawiy life, playing chess, spreading bright rainbow wings.
She took such a pleasure in fantastical world.
Pure, open and fun was a child, our girl.
Once older and bolder, a sadness appeared.
Of thoughts unexpected, and feelings that reared.
A soul and the body did’t fined a solace
For my wonderful person, wasn’t a base.
As family we listened, we changed to accept
When she talked, and she told us, with no one regret.
Relief came upon us when His face filled with glee.
He was always a boy, and we will love Him as He.
Happy 19th Birthday, Alex!
