Shayla Elaine BondCongratulations and Best Wishes Shayla Elaine BondEighteen years, a thousand fears, yet count-less joyful times. A tiny baby smiles justonce, her Daddy’s heart it binds.A toddler cries with tearful eyes, that onlyMom can dry. The little girl so cute in pinkdecides what clothes she’ll try.Her favorite pastime soon becomes all pa-per, paint, and crayons. Some years go by,she’s growing fast, no longer holds ourhands.She struggles some along the way, we hopeshe feels our love. The strength she needstakes all she has, she’s all we’re thinking of.The sun breaks through, she finds her way,the clouds begin to clear. And every daythat passes now, each one we hold so dear.She’ll leave us soon to spread her wings, adream or two to find. We know her life’sforever bound to these roots she leavesbehind.We hope she knows how proud we are,how deep our love resides. How muchwe’ve learned along the way, seeingthrough our child’s eyes.The paper, paint, and crayons through grad-uation years, will always be our most pre-cious ones, despite the thousand fears.Love Always,Dad, Mom and Tre’Source: www.familyfriendpoems.com/poem/paper-paint-and-crayons
