Sweet Sixteen She is a raven haired beauty (from a box) She has her mother's hazel eyes She is a svelte little fox with a body that lies Barbie ain't got nothin' on her girls She is a makeup maven and always smells divine She is way too smart with a mouth to match Her wicked wit makes you smile against your will Heaven help me with this beautiful child of mine Nearly grown and gone She's Sweet Sixteen and we have to beat them off her with a stick I'm proud of my baby girl last one in the nest Have to admit this one has really put me to the test But I might just get lucky and my little lovey will turn out best LGR(C)8/3/13 |

I have no doubt she will make you proud and happy. This is such a good poem, and I can feel the pride, with a little of the teenage angst about you. ~*~ What do you call a dinosaur with a extensive vocabulary? A thesaurus. ~*~ |

That's a tough age there. Not much in life harder than being the parent of a sixteen year old girl. Been there, done that. It all turned out good here. I have faith it will for you too. Michael |

My two older sons from a different marriage are in their 30's and doing good, so I'm optimistic. (but I'm keeping my fingers crossed) Lord have mercy that child! Lori |

I saw your Papa carrying the cake...He was wearing a very big grin at his grandbaby's sweet sixteen party coming up. I told him to say hi to all after I gave him a great hug. I hope he did! |

She sounds like a loved child, filled with laughter and much promise! A wonderful mother- daughter (alla Dreampoet) slice of life! Ms. E |

Those teenage years will try your soul. (I don't know why someone put the words sweet and sixteen together) but give it a couple of years and they suddenly turn back into a normal human being. Ida |

Well Sunshine, you know his memory isn't what it used to be... I know he was glad to get that hug! You are still an honorary member of the family. Lori |

msE Thank you for being here it is always good to hear from you. Girls went to bed when I got up this morning. I think that is the hallmark of a good party. Lori |

Ida! you are right it is an oxymoron! I think the two words just sounded good together...Pain in the butt sixteen just doesn't have the same ring to it. LOL Thanks for the smile. Lori |
