Congratulations XXXXXX
By: Simone Nabors
When I met you for the first time
And held you in my arms
I knew you’d do such great things
You’d be my lucky charm
You know we’re all so proud of you
It isn’t simply me
Your Mom and Dad, XXX and Pop-Pop too
A list as vast as the sea
But don’t forget the so many more
XXXXX, XXXXXXX, XXXXXXX, and Xarry
XXXXXX and XXXX say they’re proud of you
The responses hardly vary
You were always shy and quiet
But good-humored from the start
Not to mention that your writing
Is truly a piece of art
You will always be my first Grandchild
And as you close the high school chapter of your book
Be proud of your championship year with cheerleading and honor roll
And remember all the daring chances that you took
Don’t forget our mini-vacations
And playing family games
Because girl you are on fire
Encompass the world in your flames
I’m so very proud of your accomplishments
XXXXXXX has gained a bright addition
I wish you happiness and fun with family and friends
The world is yours with your ambition
Always remember
I love you more…
-XXXXXXX
