Frederique Turns One

Frederique Turns One

Soon you will be turning one and this is splendid to me;
‘cause this will be the first of many more to be.
You had your first fall and I've seen your first step.
Then will come your first tooth
Your first jump, your first skip.
Your first sentence will be soon after that.
So many firsts it is fair to wager
That the number will seem staggering
When you are old enough to attend very first grade.
But the number will grow everyday that you age.
