~ClaraBelle Christine~
May your faith always be as strong, as it is today
You're still a child of God, but in a special mature way
I've watched you grow in stages, from crayons to a text
Each has been my favorite, not knowing what was next
Today will be my best ever, to see you get confirmed
It's the most important thing that you have ever learned
You're sixteen years and six foot one; you face things with a smile
You've lived your life so far, with an exemplary style
As your grandma, I pray daily that your days be free of strife
It gives me so much peace knowing that God's first in your life
There's one thing I must ask of you; it's more than just a favor
Please always keep your faith, and keepJesus as your Savior
I know I always tell you; I might another million times
I'll love you through Eternity, as long as God's Son Shines
~Your grandma Debi~

Author Notes
ClaraBelle's being confirmed today, 10-30-2022. Unfortun/ately, because I have been sick I'm unable to attend. So in honor of this very special day in her life, I'd like to share the poem that I had written a couple weeks ago for her and put on a plaque for her.
This childhood picture of Clara has always been one of my favorites, as her personality shines through from a little girl unto today. When my husband brings home pictures of her, I will replace it with a Confirmation picture.
