To Jennifer Louise
you're about to embark on a new adventure you're at a turning point in your life's road
so step out on faith, remember where you came from and go forth confident and bold
you're beautiful, you're intelligent and you have a lot going on
just reach for your God given destiny which is just on the horizon
don't allow anyone to define you nor place you in a pigeon hole
you're a young, gifted and strong black woman who's in total control
trust in your instincts and always stay true to yourself
and don't be intimidated by anyone else's position, status nor wealth
just keep working hard and keep your head in the books
use your smarts to get ahead and don't just rely on your looks
just stay the course and always follow through
for there are great things out there waiting just for you
you have a strong family foundation that has given you a good headstart
we love you Jennifer Louise and remember you're always in our hearts
