In New Orleans, where jazz notes flow, Taylor marks three decades' glow. With laughter dancing through the air, Family, friends, all gather there. Her twenties bid a fond adieu, Like mist that lifts for skies anew. A teacher's heart, vast as the sea, Guides each soul toward destiny. In the Crescent City’s mystic sway, The otherworldly join the fray. Beads and dreams in moonlit swirl, A gumbo feast, life’s pearls unfurl. Goodbye to twenties, wild and free, Hello to thirty's wise decree. Amidst the shadows and the light, Taylor steps into her newest flight.
