At Seventeen - For Kaitlin

At seventeen months I know I am your world. At seventeen years, I pray I am a part. At seventeen months I always know where you are. At seventeen years, I pray that you call. At seventeen months, you cry over booboos. At seventeen years, you will cry over boys. At seventeen months, a kiss will make it better. At seventeen years, I pray a hug will help. At seventeen months, I love to listen to you talk. At seventeen years, I pray I remember to listen. At seventeen months, the world is a full of wonder. At seventeen years, I pray your world is still wonderful. At seventeen months, you are just starting childhood. At seventeen years, you are just leaving it behind. At seventeen months, I love you with all my heart. At seventeen years, I will love you with all my heart.
