Joyful Seventeen Celebration Poem by Christen Kuikoua

In this moment, I stand tall,
Grateful for each rise and fall.
Life's journey, a gift to unwrap,
A joyous clap, life beautifully sews.

With each year, wisdom grows,
Embracing laughter, shedding tears,
A dance of hopes, conquering fears.

So here's to another year to share,
To cherish moments, love to declare.
On this birthday, in a world so grand,
I'll celebrate and take a stand.

For the beauty of life, in every way,
Thank you, Lord, for this special day.
With gratitude and a heart that's light,
I welcome this year, shining bright.
