  Dedication

  With a hundred Nana kisses

  And a world of love,

  To Kelsey Elizabeth Mullens,

  The best Thanksgiving gift ever.

  All ruffles and lace, a sweet smiling face,

  Lover of fairies and fashions, shoes with class,

  But earrings or socks must never be matched.

  She’s a dancer, a gymnast, a beautiful lass.

  A veterinarian, she’ll be, or an actress with sass.

  Emotions she’ll express—no words need be said,

  As an artist and leader, she silently shines.

  A whirlwind so bright, she blows our minds.

  Watching her grow is a wonderful time.
