Poetry Friday a bit early

In the year 2000 a beautiful baby girl was born and she was named Kayla Rose. She is joy personified and in honor of her birthday (which is Saturday) I am posting this poem for Poetry Friday:

"Happy Birthday My Friend" by Raymond A. Foss

Today you are ten.
But, with that
Sly smile and
Those knowing eyes,
You are
Going on twenty.

That sparkle in
Your blue eyes,
That false pout,
That mischievous
Laugh and
Kind spirit
Make me glad
You are
My friend.
