Marissa - Five Going On Twenty

My oldest granddaughter, age 5, who wants to run the show.

Marissa - Five Going on Twenty

A child born on February 7
Struggled for life prior to birth
Fighting for breath – a strong willed player
Nothing will stop her – so determined

Struggled for life prior to birth
Miracle baby the doctors said
Full of energy, with love to give

Fighting for breath – a strong willed player
Survivor – one not afraid to take charge
Prone to be a speaker, attorney, politician, or judge

Nothing will stop her – so determined
Bright, stubborn, fashionable, charming, meticulous
Eager to take flight and show the world she can perform.

Note: In the style of Trimeric - a four stanza poem in which the first stanza has four lines and the last three stanzas have three lines each, with the first line of each repeating the respective line of the first stanza.
