For now you turns at age of eighteen, <br />Like a princess during ancient scene <br />Wearing gown of lovely colors of red, <br />Dancing through the melody of life <br />In endless dream lingers upon your head <br /> <br />Your wit, your stares, your sweetest smiles, <br />Your traits, your dreams - my heart beguiles, <br />For now you're a lady and a girl no more <br />A complete woman that man could adore <br />And later or sooner as time goes by; <br />There come a man that will make you cry, <br />Why not be happy for love instead of tear? <br />Why not strive to love rather than fear? <br /> <br />Not numbers of age; nor times that passed <br />Could fade my love that forever would last, <br />O, my sweet friend, so keen and bright, <br />Life is just but a fading dream to live by <br />Either in death or darkening of my sight, <br />I'll always treasure you till the moment I die. <br /> <br />Happy 18th Birthday! <br />My Best Wishes!<br /><br />Raymond Cabrera<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mj-the-sweet-debutante/
