Whitney  Janet Wentworth


“I don’t give up”
said Whitney
at her 5th
birthday lunch

Whitney nearly lost it
when first born

just hours old
with flailing arms
she turned purple
in her crib

it took emergency oxygen
to bring her breath back
nasal passages too small
on her new face

Whitney, five today
loves life
peddles her bicycle furiously
no training wheels
for her

climbs trees
reaches for the stars

thank you Whitney!
I will never give up
