At Seventeen - For Kaitlin
At seventeen months I know I am your world.
At seventeen years, I pray I am a part.
At seventeen months I always know where you are.
At seventeen years, I pray that you call.
At seventeen months, you cry over booboos.
At seventeen years, you will cry over boys.
At seventeen months, a kiss will make it better.
At seventeen years, I pray a hug will help.
At seventeen months, I love to listen to you talk.
At seventeen years, I pray I remember to listen.
At seventeen months, the world is a full of wonder.
At seventeen years, I pray your world is still wonderful.
At seventeen months, you are just starting childhood.
At seventeen years, you are just leaving it behind.
At seventeen months, I love you with all my heart.
At seventeen years, I will love you with all my heart.
