In the garden of time, a blossom new, Charlie stands at the bridge where dreams ensue. On this day, fourteen candles fiercely gleam, Each a beacon guiding her riverine stream. Granddaughter dear, in the tapestry vast, Every stitch is a moment, each memory cast. With laughter and wisdom, your sails unfurl, Navigating the voyage — a resolute girl. The sun paints horizons of opal and gold, Stories of tomorrow in chapters unfold. May every step dance, every echo remain, A symphony sweet in life's vast, open plain. So, gather your dreams, like stardust in hand, And march to the rhythm, life's grand parade band. For in this world woven with love and delight, Charlie, my star, shine ever so bright.
