This one goes out to my granddaughter Aubree May Carpenter for her 14th birthday and her junior high graduation. We are so proud of you every day, and I can't wait to see what God has in store for you in the years to come.
Lots of Love Always, Pops
Proud of You
Fourteen years old and moving
To high school from junior high
A girl on the brink of womanhood
That no one can deny
With a faith to move the mountains
Plus a smile so warm and bright
You seem to light up every room
And fill others with delight
In this summer of transition
Between seasons, between grades
Between childhood and adulthood
Between dreams and plans you’ve made
We stand by you and celebrate
All you’ve accomplished, all you’ve done
Friends you’ve made and love you’ve shared
How you bring joy to everyone
How you inspire others
With your faith and how you live
With the open-handed way
That you encourage and you give
And from this moment forward
It’s important that you know
Our hopes and prayers go with you
Wherever you may go
Wherever God may lead you
We carry you within our hearts
Through this big wide world of wonder
As we have right from the start
So dream farther than your comfort
Pray bigger than you dare
Reach for the very brightest stars
Always, always love and care
Trust in Jesus to walk with you
Every day, your whole life through
Happy birthday and graduation
Aubree, we’re so proud of you
