Time flies on wings
Toddler to a lady so fine
Yet memory only sings
Of a little girl mine
Dress-ups and tea parties
Bountiful in hearties
Taller and faster
Funnier and smarter
Each year brings a new you
Humble, kind and true
Adios to silly girl games
Hello to boys with aims
Drop-off and pick-up
No more your kind of cup
Learning permits and mania
Cars and driving hysteria
Proud we are of your spoils
Impressed we are of your toils
Never afraid of change
Angel on the home range
Sixteen different ways we love you
And many more to the moon blue
A parent’s priceless treasure
“Happy Sweet 16”
Romancing Life
