A poem to tell you all about my daughter
I do not know of any one more sweeter
She was born in the month of July
Sent us to cloud nine in the sky.
She was shy, polite and loved to learn
Did something new every step and turn
Before we realized ,she was all big and strong
The journey to turn one didn’t take very long.
She loved puzzles and to read books
But she was a fussy eater no matter what was cooked
She had a great voice and loved to sing
She sounded like a gentle breeze in spring
Year two was just as much fun
Just as curious to get new things done
She loved the playscape and the swings
Went high up in the air like she had wings
She had a lot of friends, some of them best
She stuck with a few but always friends with the rest
She was growing up and was ready for the next big day
Pretty soon it was time for another birthday
Year three was all about games and fun
Skipping and hopping, playing in the sun
She was big sister, baby brother came along
Not a happy camper, until he could follow her around
She loved to read with mom every night
Without a book there was no sleeping tight
Favorites were far too many
Most favorites had stories of Piglet and Winnie
Year four marked the first year of school
She enjoyed it every bit, she liked to play it cool
Teacher’s pet, and always stuck to the rules
Learnt some ballet and swimming in the pool
She still loves to swim, it is her favorite sport
One day she will be in the Olympics, you watch out
Her favorite teachers were all of them around
They were all super cool, and never let her frown
Year five, was a great year with a good start
Kindergarten made her doubly smart
Miss Amy was the sweetest soul
She won a gold medal in the opinion poll
Audrey and Daksha were two peas in a pod
You asked one and the other would nod
They were best friends forever and still are
But since we moved, they live too far
Year six, was all about being in first grade
She was in good hands, not one bit scared
Did her homework but didn’t finish lunch
Mom was upset and worried a whole bunch
Year seven, was exciting in a new school
A J Whittenberg was way too cool
An Engineering school, a class apart
Lego robotics, news show and art
She loved to research and write her own script
The team worked together and were always equipped
Miss Dye was her most favorite person in the world
With her a whole new journey unfurled
Year eight moved her to Texas
Left behind friends who were going to miss us
But she made new friends in Stanley who were fun
A new world opened and a new chapter begun
There was lots to learn, lot of new rules
Things didn’t go great, but she kept her cool
In a few months, life was back on track
Off to school she went everyday with her red rocket backpack
Here were are already at year nine ,so fast it all went by
She is in fourth grade already ,my oh my
Mrs Schmitt and Mrs Hoelzel , you make learning fun
I know she is dreaming sometimes, but it is just her you will learn
Fourth grade has been super fun to ride
At the end of the year, she will be your joy and pride
She will be ready for the next year in the next grade soon
Phew !! Thankfully that is not until next June …
