To Elizabeth

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.

Sweet 16 and she was not missed--at least by your perception.

Elizabeth will cherish your thoughts about her.

Makes me want to sing…

Chip-a-la romey in a bananika
Bollika, wollika, can't you see
Chippery chick is me!
