~ During her studies in poetry Baylee penned the following two poems:

One is in limerick style:

"Georgine"
There was an old maid named Georgine,
Who wished she were still a young teen.
So, she tried spells and hexes
Incantations and vexes,
She was still one-hundred-nineteen!

One is in free-verse style:

"Skating"
Brrrrrrrrrrrr!
It's so cold!
I can't do it!
My feet are so, wobbly!
Comeon,
Do it!
I took a deep breath,
Then stepped onto the ice.
Zooooooooom!
Another skater whizzed by.
How does he do it?
I can't do it!
I held onto the rail,
And took one step at a time,
I move my feet a little faster.
Faster,
Faster,
Faster!
I can do it!
It feels like flying!
I have wings on my feet!
I'm skating.
I can do it!

We are so proud of Baylee and all that the Lord is doing inside and through her. Our prayer is that she continually enjoy God and bring Him glory. As one of your teachers wrote..... "we believe that the Lord has already begun a good work in you"!! We love you!!
