A Blessing for Celeste

Be blessed, Celeste, with lots of shoes
When I asked my teenaged friend
Celeste what she wanted for her
birthday, a special blessing event
tomorrow with
guests coming from
out of town, dinner, a very
big deal, she said: "Shoes."

and level roads to walk on,
with all things good, 
brown food adored,
but even more, adventure! 
The courage to
explore things new, 
including thoughts and places.
Be blessed, Celeste, with questions answered.
More ups than downs,
more smiles than frowns,
on life's wild roller coaster .
Be blessed, Celeste, with full knowledge that
you are so loved, protected, with
more happiness than expected,
purest joy to come your way.
Miss Celeste Grace, be blessed today
and all your life with baffling wonder
that will knock your socks clean off
inside another pair beyond compare
of excellent new shoes.
