At Christiana's Sweet 16, a night aglow, A tapestry of time begins to softly flow. Candlelight dances, casting dreams anew, While laughter twirls beneath the midnight hue. She steps forward, breaking tradition's bind, Shunning pink, leaving green behind. In silver and starlight, a glow of its own, Her spirit shines, by her heart alone. With friends all gathered, the world feels just right, As wishes like lanterns take flight in the night. Christiana, in that fleeting moment unseen, Paints her own colors, beyond pink and green.
