From what I’ve read and from what I’m told
Christina has a heart of Gold
Her name and character both are strong
She tries to right what she feels is wrong
Supported by Jeff through thick and thin
I have no doubt that they will win
She seems too bright for someone her age
She must have been a teenage sage
God gave her gifts to tackle things perverse
Then augment her views in prose and verse
My wisdom comes from mistakes and pain
No doubt hers was acquired just the same
I’m sure that there are still things that she’ll rue
But no doubt her "God" will see her through
She still has faults ~ at least that’s what I think
As I imagine her standing at the sink
At adversity she will not flinch
I think it’s hard for her to give an inch
Yet it’s also hard to win "The Booker"
When you’re feverishly slaving at the cooker
Tending house and writing rhyme
It's not always easy to find the time
Consequently ~ when she should be in bed!
She strides the globe on the World Wide Web
But her fame will spread of that I’m sure
Because she has sincerity - to the very core
But with such sincerity there’s always pain
But she will find her Sunshine - after rain
And her rain with sunshine will bring rainbow hues
As she grows and flexes her broadened views
Yes ~ She’ll establish herself globally of that I’m sure
As the Internet brings "World Acclaim" right to her door
I’ve no doubts that Christina will be famous in the end
And perhaps by then ~ she'll be my friend.
