A dear, dear friend hand wrote the poem to be read at my daughter's 21st birthday.
What a remarkable gift!
To day I found her note and had to search the internet to see if she had it word for word correct.
She did!!

It is the perfect poem for a 21st Birthday, I hope your daughter enjoyed it :)

I couldn't find it online when I searched for it either, so I wrote it out. I am glad it helped you.
