Acrostics by My Daughter Emily

F inally
I 'm
R ipping the
S tripy finish ribbon
T he crowd goes wild

* * * * * * *

L urching
A cross the finish line
S adly realizing
T hat I'm last

* * * * * * *

M agical sounds fill the air
U nder a lovely
S tarry night sky
I ntentionally keeping quiet
C areful not to disturb the moment

* * * * * * *

A ncient Culture is what made places special
N owhere else was just the same
C ulture nowadays makes places special
I nteresting and
E ngrossing
N owhere is ever just the same
T he world is full of culture

C ulture is a valuable thing
U nder outside appearances, everything is centered on culture
L ove and marriage is differently approached
T ons of places have different traditions
U ganda has different customs than
R ussia, and vice versa
E verything is part of culture, ancient or not
