The Maker finished his blueprint and turned off the light of the sun. "This will be another precious creation of mine!" He bellowed amongst the clouds, and the stars twinkled in anticipation. The next morning, the Maker made his preparations, and, with a wiggle of his fingers, began to mold the clay in his hands.

"I shall make this one special," He said to himself as He formed the shape of an eye. "She will make me proud," He continued as his finger gently traced themselves over the putty substance and formed two small pair of pink lips. "She will speak my name, and create wonders with her hands. Her mind will create words that speak of beauty. And she will stay faithful to me; always."

Months passed before the Maker put his tools down and stared at his wondrous design before Him. He cradled it in His two hands and said, "Your flesh will endure tribulations and persecutions. At times, you will shoot anger towards me, and loneliness will surround you on many occasions. But know this, you will never be alone, and your spirit will always guide you in the right direction. You will not disappoint me." His lips touched His creation's forehead. "Let us begin."

Trumpets flared and the gates were opened.

On the other side of the world, a bloodied scalpel was put back on its tray. "Look at that head of hair!" the doctor cried in astonishment as his hands wrapped themselves around the placenta smeared creature. And with a quick pull, it was finished. I am born.

Behind the joyful cries of "It's a girl"! and congratulations, the Maker watches silently as I am bundled up and placed in my mother's arms. He then floats to my side and kisses my head. "Happy Birthday," He says. "Happy Birthday, my little one."
