← Dawkins describes 'magic' of science to Randolph College crowd

I'd like something meaningful to write on the inside cover of my copy of 'The Magic of Reality' for my older daughter...she's only nearing 4, but interested in the illustrations and why not start them young?! I thought about that verse from 'Desiderata'...you know, this bit....

You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

but with review, I don't really like the bit about 'you have a right to be here'.....the wording doesn't sit right. I'm sure i could formulate something relatively worthy and meaningful, but suspect it may sound clumsy...any suggestions welcome beyond 'Dearest daughter, with love, Daddy' x!
