(this written about a baker's half-dozen years ago) this then stunning lithe oldest teenage niece, daughter of my younger sister epitomizes a tall drink of water (similar to the mother at same age) What with her willowy young woman body brimming with budding potential for breath-taking beauty enhanced by her quiet mien expressing itself thru exemplary artistic and literary flair if asked to draw a character sketch anime or wax poetic she would demure modesty restrains her acknowledging creative talents so I thought to compose an ode in praise of this quiet-natured adolescent teetering on the brink of adulthood (now a glowingly radiant young woman) evolving positive qualities via submittable the strength of said sibling whose ambitious parents embarked to Spain late summer found them bound for the Iberian peninsula this brother suppresses envy adventurous bold risk-taking exposing offspring to world wide web of Europe fostering cultural awareness represents continuity for I remember this youngest sibling as gently conniving for courage to act on her je nais sais qua esprit de corps as like an inner divining rod and faith in self-enabling an exemplary example of motherhood constituting both this and Marleigh (the second of deux whip-smart darlings) with the world at their fingertips as hands-on learning all the while insinuating courage to take life by the red dee bull horns!??
