A friend's daughter had her 16th birthday yesterday. I stuffed this in the birthday card.
TO ELIZABETH Tall, lithe, fair, and graceful, Braided hair and prairie dresses, Fifteen going on sixteen, Caught in the moment Between girl and young woman Like a butterfly Emerging from her cocoon. And her smile, enigmatic, A Mona Lisa smile, Hints of secrets She shares only with God. -Chip Bergeron August 29, 2014 �
