Red letter day,
happiness overflows.


Heart swells as I look at you,
standing next to your painting-
your smile brighter than the colors on the canvas.


I feel tears prick my eyes,
reading with pride of your
big night- your film is well received.


Two creative souls, 
Babies once sheltered in my arms
Now pursuing their separate dreams.


Special day, forever marked in scarlet,
My red letter day.
