I wrote a poem for my granddaugher Alyssa Enslen who turned 17 on November 12, 2018.


A Birthday Poem for Alyssa

Guess who’s turnin’ Seventeen?
Quickly becoming a beauty queen.

Blessed with talent; she can draw,
Produce a picture without a flaw.

Studies hard and makes good marks,
Cleans her room and dresses smart.

She’s one special daughter of God.
For leading-role actress, she’s got my nod.

We share a birth date—55-year spread.
When she’s 72, I’ll long be dead.

“Happy Birthday,” Alyssa, my quiet one.
Hope your day is filled with fun.
