OUR SHINING STARS
by Laurie Kolp

I hurt when my children hurt,
I want to cry when they cry.
Sometimes it takes all I've got
to just let things go by.
Take, for instance, this morning-
when a spelling bee occurred.
Katie and Andrew both took part
and neither one did place.
Katie took it gently,
let it roll right off her back.
But Andrew was heart-broken,
his plans for Scripps now smack.

We're so proud they got that far,
and love each one, our shining stars.

Yes they are! We can't win em all! As long as they enjoy the journey and make good memories ;)
