Clara Margot Turns 3

You talk like Marlene Dietrich
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
Your clothes are all made by Balmain
And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes there are
***
But where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do
--Peter Starstedt "Where Do You Go to My Lovely"

"When hope is not pinned wriggling onto a shiny image or expectation, it sometimes floats forth and opens.” --Anne Lamott

11 The king is enthralled by your beauty;
honor him, for he is your lord.--from the 45th Psalm

Happy Birthday, little big girl. You confound us and delight us every day.
