Nancy Tillman: The Crown on Your Head

On the day that we met and I put you to bed,

I noticed a crown on the top of your head.

It was made up of sparkling, glimmering things

like moonlight and fireflies, and dragonfly wings.

We know our children are special, and now the incomparable Nancy Tillman expresses this universal feeling in the most touching of ways: Every child is born with a crown.

The crown is everything that gives us unique value. Our crown will always be with us wherever we go, whatever we do.
