Happy Birthday! Miss Rachel Rebecca!

 
Happy Birthday! Darlin’ Becky!
Sunshine Glisten
 
By that tender age of eight I had already innocent discerned
Men don’t cry for comfort they believe maybe’s been earned
 
Through these many days in years Love-understanding grew
With all the sweet girls, an Adonis-handsome son, soon I knew
 
Raven-haired beauty glowing in gold sun light, halo bright
Long admired her from afar, a perfect loving angel sight
 
Soon gained a cherub blonde goddess shadow by my side
Bless-ed walking on cloud nine aglow in pure honored pride
 
Rachel of Sunnybrook Farm complimented our fine growing clan
From new-born day to mid-night moon smiled a lucky, happy man
 
Who might have dared venture some wild guess a sacred future brings
Z. Tyler-man, Lauren, Lexi Lu and Anna Marie: Treasures of a King!
 
My life for each, eternal love true, perfect reason to happy exist
If any storms developed, I pleasured through them as simply mist
 
Without a few well-designed clouds, no life-giving raindrops fall
Maybe ’tis true I be a rebel, rascal, rogue; I daily practice my call
 
And, loved you all and every instant of life, relished each nuance offered
Blonde girls on horses in blue jeans ’cept Sundays found them coiffured
 
Playing softball! Wow! You all could hit! Racing steeds in a rock bottom creek
Always funnin’ times; making some joke; purely simple games like hide ’n seek
 
Your orange raincoat 1st day of school left Daddy with a lonesome tear
When you got home we went horse ridin’! Hooray! We gave a wild cheer!
 
Always my helpers; little shadow-girls. I just turned around and you had magic grown
Through sweet time, love’s awesome space, all perfect angels I have pleasure known
 
Little boys learn quick that men don’t cry---not where they might be seen
That’s just “Sunshine Glisten” on my cheek; happy to have thee upon me lean
 
Trade me? Change me? Correct? Admonish? Even ignore? Understand, I see
And, Thee? Not one iota to improve. Happy! Yes! So long as Thee loves---Me!
 
Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday! Miss Rachel Rebecca!
(July 9, 2015)
 
 
“Sunshine”-girl
(a loving limerick)
 
Immense joy in such a tiny package---“Lucky” I, Beth’s clone
Smiling-laughing “Happy” sunshine ever-delightful shone
Yesterday I shed a tear---first day of school in her raincoat
Tried to drown me horseback riding in the creek---I need a boat!
A sunshine-light to brighten space with a Love!-important tone
 
Happy Birthday! Love, Mom & Daddy
 
 
     My darling Rachel “Bobi”-child---
 
     I simply could not have fashioned thee a better delight than what thou art; I am not nearly so intelligent nor creative-thoughtful enough to imagine yet another perfect “Love!”. Luckily, you and Caty and all the rest take after lovely Lady Candice Leah; what an inspiration! How I got into the act, God only knows; probably to make you all look even better in comparison. Yeah!
     We have Lived! And, Loved! And, Laughed! And, I am eternally Blessed! Un-deserving, but, fully accepting; luck-of-the-draw, I suspect. I have been dealt a “Royal Flush!” in hearts. Amen!
     So many wonderful adventures through the events of our time and space---delightful. You, my dear, brought “Sunshine” to each and every occasion; absent thee, the fun severely subdued.
     Horses, riding, swimming, ball, golf, the sheep, ducks, chickens, Tilley-the turkey! Wow! And, Brandy-dog and Stormy-horse. All awesome-wonderful. Taught you to fish and hunt mushrooms and many other things; and, you taught me of life and love with time and space to sing. Such talent in these sacred members of our family; one day, I may even learn to read?
     And, Yes! I did actually buy a Prom-dress; too small for bulky me and way too expensive for a working grunt; but, you donned the garment and made it---Royal! In beauty-delight! Ahh!
     That red Mustang GT convertible was made to go 140; am I dyslexic or were you clocked by that stupid fat deputy at 104? You drive like your old man! Girl! Yeah. Rules are made by some fool so I can break them; but, you seem to have forgotten my Golden Rule: Never get caught! Oh! Well! It’s only a fine and a sister-lawyer didn’t hurt. Just so you didn’t get---hurt! Amen!
     And, now. I told Nanny when you were just a wee kid, “Wait until she has children; she’ll blossom, then!” Boy! On that surmise, I hit a home run. A great mom begot two great moms!
     Beautiful Miss Lauren Victoria and our beauty Anna Marie are pure delight. Lovely darling Alexandria Elizabeth adores her “surrogate”-mom and handsome Z. Tyler loves you dearly. I won the “lottery” of life with this Christian family! Thank You! Lord!
     So? Onward, girl. You Rock! My perfect angel child---Lovely Lady Rachel Rebecca!
 
In all the world---My treasure-pleasure…Thee!
Happy Birthday! Bobi!
Love, Mom & Daddy
