Blessed
Criss F Rosenlof 1969 (Utah)
At 10 years, just a girl playing without care,
friends and school center your world, fun and laughter to spare.
At 20 years, a woman now young and on your own,
with husband and a newborn child your happiness has grown.
Now at 30, you've been blessed, two more kids have come your way
full family, full of love, beside you day to day.
Life has blossomed, from that child so many years gone past,
grown into a woman strong with love enough to last.
