Forever Starts Now

I remember
a little blond-haired girl
Quarreling with her sisters and brother
seems like only yesterday

Wasn't it just a little while ago
you were wearing a cap and gown,
Playing clarinet for Ms. Oja's class,
and turning cartwheels with a carefree heart?

You've grown now
to a stunningly beautiful woman
Who is a proud college graduate (twice!)
and who has now gotten married

My heart is filled with joy
as I witness you take that next step forward
Hand in hand with Josh
and forever starts now....

Thanks, ladies!

I've always been quite proud of Michelle. Her and her two sisters and brother are four of the most successful and noteworthy in the family as far as I'm concerned. =) thanks to all three of you for dropping in. ~Jess K. ----------------------- "Flying so high, trying to remember How many cigarettes did I bring along?
