Emily   (An Acrostic)
 
Twenty One today. – I recall
When you were just a babe in arms.
Every finger and toe so small,
 
Nose so cute and perfect smile to charm
The birds down from the highest tree.
Yea big – nestling neatly in my arms.
 
On this your birthday, I can see
Nothing I would ever change. You’re
Everything I dreamed and hoped you’d be.
