Twenty Today

You, who share a birthday with our son,
Are twenty today.
We rejoice in the gift that you are—

For your funny expressions,
For your “best sister”-hood,
For your sense of humor,
For your intelligence
And your compliments and your beauty
And your love of Jesus—

Even while we recognize that none of these
Really touch on the essence of you,
Which is too luminous to be so easily summed.
