I wanted to create a celebratory poem
twenty-two years young

as devotion grows
so does our rhythm
in perfect timing

looking out in the same direction
always my calming center beautifies
surrounded by this
unpretentious love.

Thanks Randall.

I came back and tinkered with this one. There have been a few occasions for celebrating recently. With a little re-wording done, this poem seemed to fit my oldest daughter best. She graduates from college this Saturday.

I wrote a little speech to say at her dinner this weekend, I have my fingers crossed I won't cry..(although I probably will) I may take this poem along to share also.

Thanks Randall
we are all pretty excited here- and I'm quite nostalgic feeling today. I'm thinking back about putting her on the bus for the first time, first boyfriends and her lil heart broken, how much she has always loved reading (thank goodness),putting her on a plane to Europe for a summer- and how she came back with a new wordly maturity....and so many other sweet tender memories to think over.
