Notes About The Poem

I wrote this to my granddaughter who is an officer in the Air Force. She continues to excel in all she does. I'm so proud of her..

So Proud of You Bella

So Proud of You Bella

So proud of you Bella
AKA Lieutenant Kemp
You've grown to quite woman
In the Air Force, not a wimp

Still excelling as you do 
With more effort than appears
In the top of all your classes
You are wise beyond your years

Always there to lend a hand
A rock for every friend
They know you've always got their backs
On you they may depend

Learn a lesson from yourself
Real friends should be the same
You may depend when you need them
Part of the friendship game

Wrote this to remind you
That though we're Gram and Pop
We're always friends here for you
And that will never stop

Jo you did visit again with more very nice comments. I only wish I was as good a poet as they are grandchildren. I am so fortunate
