Malory Happy 17th Birthday Poem by JoAnn McGrath

Well your 17 now
and it will be your senior year
How time has flown by
the memories are so clear

Auntie and the buggy
for many, many walks
Binky and the blanky
which slowed you when you talked

Kindergarten came
the beginning of eight years
Communion, conformation
8th grade graduation nears

In between the learning
a few sports to pass the time
Basketball, swimming, soccer
Volleyball made you shine

Now your here in High School
all the ups and downs
Soon you'll be looking back
with more stories to pass down

What's the future hold
No one knows for sure
but whatever path you take
I know you will endure


(Love Mom/1 June 2007)
