For CaspianGirl
I hope your mouth has gotten past the grief
Of bleeding, whose discomfort can be dire,
From sockets where there once were wisdom teeth;
I wouldn't want you missing out on choir,
Or missing out on confirmation class!
It's pleasing that you take to that so well;
The teacher will enjoy so bright a lass,
Whether or not the teacher's your Michelle.
And Sarah, Cee-Eff-Ess-Girl, must be fond
Of you for joining in her praying thread;
You've gradually formed a loving bond
With her, to help her face what waits ahead.
Wherever you may travel, your kind heart
Will make folks miss your face when you depart.
