Youth!

 
Enjoy Youth! Today!
 
 
Yeah! Man! I've had my taste---full throttle...flat out!
Amen!
 
Someone once allowed: Youth is a wonderful,
most precious inclination toward proud Freedom!
 
Amen! To that, too.
 
My observation from the pinnacle of seven decades:
 
It is, indeed, such a terrible tragedy to waste "youth"
on---the young?!
 
With my vast experience, I could do a lot with..."Youth"!
 
Amen!

Space! Children!

 
The "Eternal" Frontier
 
Listen up! Children!
 
In me time through space called life I have been
privileged to witness miracles supernatural.
 
"Love" just happens to motivate this limited imagination;
it also inspires "fantasy"-realism. Not at all the seeming
dichotomy of opposing interests; rather, an inspirational
"Freedom" opening vistas of eternal perceptions.
 
Sounds---Crazy!?
 
Yeah. I know and fully understand: Consider the source!
 
Anyway, that "inclusion" aside as un-solvable, perhaps,
until I suffer a "white-coat" experience up front and
quite personal (Of course, mine will sport long sleeves
with shiny brass buckles); so far---"un"-caught"!
 
I wonder often what fantastic challenge-adventures await my progeny.
Such a vivid and "un"-conventional imagination becomes---Handy!
 
I witness incredible intelligence, unlimited talent, eternal "Love" 
in these delightful bundles-of-comfort and Hope!
 
Each has their dreams and hopes; they are considerate of
possibilities; ready, willing and able to determine their
own precisely designed destinies. I wish them---Well!
 
Confident in their abilities toward the future, I humbly ask
His continued blessings upon them. Amen!
 
These "spiritual" entities are capable of focused-concentration
in effort for "Greatness" proclaimed for collective mankind.
 
Bravo! Children! Through my love for you, springs---Pride!
 
For simple me, in my space, not enough grey matter---to...matter!?
 
No complaints; I did the best I could---mostly? I guess? I hope!
 
But, for such at each of you---Perseverance-beyond any limit!
 
Know first---thyself! Strive for Triumph through challenge!
 
Each of you has proven the ability, determination, intelligence
to expand love-eternal for incredible-lasting---Good!
 
Limited perspicacity (future-vision) precludes any
"crystal ball" predictions by simple-I for thee, but,
I dare concede I humble-sense thy pure-"Genius"!
Beyond---imagination...to the edge of: Space-eternity!  
 
For yourselves, and, with my admiring-comfort,
the very best of life and love for each of you!

Push the "limits"---beyond...always; if...
you meet them; mostly, they are only empty wraiths
unworthy of any contemplated effort---or...notice.

Go get 'em! Girls and boys! Life---awaits!
 
God bless! (Good hunting) 
 
Amen!

Remember---When!?

 
Congratulations! Graduate!
 
 
Ah! At---long...last! 8th grade Graduation!
Seems like only "yesterday" was my 1st day of kindergarten.
And---Voila! 13 years later...Graduation!
(4 long years in 3rd grade really hurt! Wow!)
 
Could not wait for the high school sentencing to end.
(Ha! Did that stint in only 4 years! Well---4...and, a half)
 
What a world "they" left us!
But---we'll "fix" it with our intelligent words and deeds.
Yeah! Right!
 
Well! We had our---hopes...and, dreams!
Yes! Siree! Umm! Hmm!
 
Got a "problem"? Ever even hear of one? Really!?
 
Want to see the cause of troubled issues?
Do you? For sure? Really? Okay!
 
Get a mirror and see the culprit---YOU!
 
But---there is good news...the solution is:
Also: YOU!
 
That's right---boys and girls...Uh, I mean, Graduates.
 
So? Where from here? Easy! Onward and upward.
 
Okay! So, what did you do---yesterday!
What are you going to do today?
And, how about tomorrow?
 
I love "intellectual" conversations with the "L" thinkers.
Of course, I am the "old" white conservative guy causing global warming.
Of course, I drive the gas guzzling dinosaur "lead sled" destroying ozone.
Of course---etc. etc. etc....ad infinitum!
 
And, when they come up for "polluted" air from a litany tirade
I smile (I am polite---on occasion) and say, simply:
May I ask you a question? Oh! "Universe-Savior".
How many trees have you planted?
 
As they ponder my query with deserved skepticism I answer
my very own thought provoking question with:
Humble I have planted over ten thousand trees.
 
They are surviving quite well in a "lost" world of my making.
 
Do something positive other than accuse and point!
 
Don't worry so much about what "other" people think of you---
be glad you actually do not know...you might cut your own throat.
(If it is so important to "belong", how come you seldom do?
 
For your profound "Thank you!" (for the trees) 
I reply, simply, "You're welcome!" (on behalf of the trees---and...earth) 
 
To my admonition I add, humbly---Please!
 
Every day is beautiful!
Have a nice day and a Great life---
for sure...I most certainly shall!
 
Amen!

Hope!

 
A Light!
 
 
To squander any single instant be the mortal sin---
 
Yonder on the night hill in a window flickers candle-light
Beckons home a wayward spirit-lost to comfort-visit sight
 
Within pale-eye a promise-spark to conflagrate sweet-heart
Return to where emotion-life did reality never actual part
 
Warm-comfort respite fosters Hope upon a-'morrow dawn
Another day! A challenge-chance triumph-success not gone
 
Learned history lesson passed to now until yon future-true
Boldly embrace echo-call emotion-practice which ye knew
 
For only in the "Dare" to vanquish evil-demon seduction-try
"Alleluia!" Celebrate un-bound abhor vacant reduction-cry
 
...Live-free! Love-true! Laugh-hardy! Refuse the end!
 
Amen!

Thank you!

Good? What "Good"?

 
Constants
 
 
2 + 2 = "4"
 
The sun rises in the---East
 
At night, stars fill the heavens
 
Truth! "Always" reigns...Supreme
 
No matter how many agree to any "lie",
an un-truth is still just a damn lie!
 
Live! Love! Laugh!

Honor: Truth!
 
Amen!

Sunday rest!

 
Leisure!
 
 
Off to Latin mass---then...
 
Soft ball spectator today with Z.-man! Yea! Go Lexi!
 
Visit Miss Lauren and Miss Anna Marie ,also!.
 
Might get lucky and see the horses, too!
 
Ah! Sweet---Life!
 
Amen!

Friday, April 22, 2016

Star-kissed!

 
Lucky!?---Blessed!
 
 
I might rather choose "Good" over "Luck"--
Certainly the circumstances would dictate choice.
 
Still, either is acceptable;
Good requires talent-effort on my part;
Luck rules independent of myself.
 
Ah! But---Blessed!?
 
Now, therein lies the precise exacerbation
of "Good" and "Luck" in focused contemplation
with the exact sought conclusion beyond any---Natural!
 
Voila! A "Super"-natural gift bestowed either
earned, or not---the only necessity?,,,Acceptance!

Humble---I...accept!
 
Amen!

Celebrate! Iy's Prom-night! Wild times! Enjoy!

 
The Four (4) Horsewomen!
 
 
McKenzie! Margo! Lauren! Kate!
Four Beauties! You go---Girls!
 
Beauty! Intelligence! Independent-Individuals! Oh! Yeah!
 
These young ladies can handle it;
they ride like the wind---Fearless!
 
You girls have a good time. I know you will!
 
Your dresses are fabulous;
you each bring the gowns finery to life
like regal, royal, real life Princesses!
 
(I invited McKenzie to come by and pick up my old
baseball bat to fight the boys off---she just laughed)?
 
Look out! Gentlemen!
 
The four (4) Horsewomen of the "Acropolis"!  
(They are proudly on "top" of their world!) 
 
We love you! Girls!
 
Enjoy!

Here "I" be! Oh! Lord!

 
Vagabond-lament?
 
I’m just sitting here watching a yellow sun traverse by
Yesterday, clouds bumped into it letting raindrops fly
Flown away today leaving a crystal-blue cerulean sky
 
A pretty girl brought me home giving her mom a scare
Her daughter’s ample love with me she did already share
Sweet beauty and vacant-I together, a knotted legal pair
 
High upon yon mountain heeded wraithlike whisper-wind
Beyond distant-vast stars above restless-will wild-spirit send
Can’t wish a copper penny to gold; errant ways cannot amend
 
Trek low down to the valley floor, new adventure seeking
Cabin-warm by river-cold a long winter comfort speaking
Spring alabaster pale full moon stirs stardust-wander beacon
 
A tumbleweed can’t settle down; might require some kind-a plan
Blood be thick, ’tis true, yet I think me kin will kindly understand
Rebel, rascal, rogue; confessed bum; practice, good at it, I proudly am
 
If you want roots, then plant a tree, water it with loving care
Embrace solace on bucolic emerald-meadow foal and mare
Respect nature, hug a child, kiss diamond star; Love! declare
 
Once, or twice, I had a nickel, maybe? Even, a single dollar
When any trail forks---I’ll take it…satiated just to “foller”
When wild ducks or geese “V”-migrate, “Fowl!” I’ll holler
 
Silk suit? Coordinated shirt? Tie? Jesus! I’ll---choke!
Rather ride the river with a “Plain-truth” old cow-poke
Money enough for fancy duds? There be a funny joke!
 
So? Vagabond? From here to where, I sometimes wonder
Look! Lightning bolt! Quiet! Listen for awesome thunder!
Me grave be easy found: Dandelions pushed up from under
 
Might be I’ll never amount to much, guess I didn’t even try
You’ll probably only see me smile; I forgot just how to cry
Should I confess-transgress “regret”? There surely be a lie!
 
Amen!
 
 


Tuesday, April 19, 2016

So? Now---what's...next!?

 
C'mon! "Bright"-(boy)!
 
Please! Allow "boy" usage a (poetic license)-event
As I sneak up on seven decades---now...at a full gallop.
 
Six books e-published on Amazon for Kindle;
four more written waiting for "polishing";
another six to eight projects in "mind".
 
And, this "Hope-Comfort-Inspiration" blog,
so far posted on a daily basis (400+).
 
So? Exactly---What?...is next?
 
The public won't (can't) read what is not in front of them.
Of course, even when it is, there is no guarantee.
 
How does that go?---If you build a better mousetrap...?
 
The adventure is: Life!
The understanding is: Love!
The vehicle is: Faith! Family! Freedom!
 
Everything Real is---Truth!
Anything true is...Simple!
 
The elements of life by design are: Quintessential.  
Such necessities are defined as: Essential.
To embrace satisfaction becomes: Love.
"Happiness"-found is simple: Appreciation.
 
Non-conditional "True"-Love must be un-selfish;
any other nuance personifies vane Narcissism.
 
My writing extolls the worthy values and sacred virtues
of the "Trinity" of "Good" exemplar-effort which is:
Faith! Family! Freedom!
 
My writing efforts' storyline is thereby summarized---Simple!
Characters, setting, dialogue and plot contribute to conclude:
"Truth! Justice! The American Way!"
 
This---I humble...Pray!
 
Amen!
 
May I live the "Dream"; may thee be so blessed, also.
 
All we have to offer is Good toward each other
The very best we bestow is Love upon each other
 
Live! Love! Laugh! Focus contemplate!
Vigilant be! No one's future be ever late!
 
Faith! Family! Freedom! Might just be all there really---Is!
In one eternal instant the only mercy-blessing will be...His!
 
Amen!
 
 
 
 


Contagious Smile!

 
Really?
 
 
A single smile begets---many!
 
Try it! Absolutely...Amazing!
 
Even those who will not acquiesce,
spend the day wondering what you
are smiling so happily about.
 
Beauty is, indeed, in the eye of the beholder;
just try seeing with a child's innocent eyes!
 
Amen!

A Grand Day!

 
Spectacular!
 
Sunday's horse show at Avalon Farm went beautifully.
Well-groomed equines showed their stuff---Exquisite!
Our riders put on an extravaganza performance;
these young ladies can ride like the wind---Perfection!
 
Spectators were thoroughly entertained and amazed.
These riders are "Equestrian stars" in their own right.
Fantastic weather was the very icing on the cake! Wow!
 
"Thank you!" To all who added to the enjoyment;
all-in-all it was  wonderful entertainment-delight.
 
Sometimes, a chain of events are destined to be "Adventure"!
This Pony Club presentation at Avalon left everyone satiated.
 
We look forward to the next "Great Event" at the stable.
 
With sincere gratitude, Thank you!
 
Amen!

Full Color Spring!

Spring Color!
 
 
The yard and garden are in spectacular bloom!
Emerald lawn dazzles the eye like a green isle.
Pink and white dogwood blooms blaze along
with pink to purple flowering crabapple and pear.
Early spring yellows, reds, whites and blues of
varying shades have flashed and retreated.
 
The summer lawn furniture is out, cleaned and
ready for use at bar-b-ques, ice cream festival
get-togethers, birthday celebrations and Mother's Day.
 
Soon, we plant the vegetable garden.
Fruit trees flowered and set fruit.
Pet-rabbit Timmy, the mourning doves
and old feline "Billy-jinx" are happy.
 
The girls are riding every day, now;
a horse show today, Sunday.
 
Freshman Lauren is going to the prom;
her dress is absolutely gorgeous!
These three beauties would make  any
tailored "remnant" material look---even better!
 
Her "date"? Miss Margo and Miss McKenzie!
(I always said that girl is smarter than average)
 
So, another day; life unfolds one event
leading to awesome adventure each dawn.
 
I "Thank Thee" for Life and for Love!
 
Amen!

Tolerace

 
Tolerance
 
 
I don't really care what you do;
your "business" is no concern of mine,
until, and unless, you force it on me.
 
I find my own persuasion---Tolerant!
I am :opinionated"; not perniciously judgmental.
 
What I find in return for my "Tolerance" is...
a grudging In-tolerance for my personal choices in life.
 
Fine! Good and well! Have at it, but,
do so without my presence. I bow---Adieu!
 
So? I wish you the "peace" found within
your own proclaimed decisions---I demand
freedom for my Independent-Individual choices.
 
Sleep well! Mon Amie! I certainly shall---Always!
 
Truth! is the soothing elixir of pleasant life and love!
 
Amen!

Reverence

 
Reverence
 
 
From Truth springs Reverence which is
sacred honor in worship of the Deity
through humble supplication of self to
Good! Justice! Life! Love! leading to
Redemption and Salvation!

Truth stands alone because it can!
 
Amen!


Tuesday, April 12, 2016

No Fool like an old Fool!?

 
So---?
 
 
I never demanded---not anything...of, anyone.
Save---my own poor "self".
 
On that count I could be, and, was, and, am, relentless.
 
Arrogance? Conceit? Ignorance? Humility?
 
maybe any of them; perhaps---all ...of them!?
 
 
Don't actually---know;
Could not even care...less.
 
I'll answer "to" and "for"---me.
 
"What other people think of me is none of my business."
(James Cavezil-actor) 
Amen!
 
Sooner, rather than later, I (and, you) will answer
to the only one Who matters---and...then, too late.
 
Any "Then"---Gone!
Any "Future"---Maybe!
"Now"---the only reality!
 
I wish thee "Good thoughts"!
"Pleasant dreams"!
Enjoy a "Great" life!
 
"Good-bye!" until the 'morrow dawn "Hello"!
 
Faith! Family! Freedom! Might just be all there really---Is!
In one eternal instant the only mercy blessing will be...His!
 
Amen!

Ambition Motivation?

 
The "Chicken" or the "Egg"?
 
 
Which came first?
What difference does it make?
 
Just this: Success! Or, Failure!
 
Ambition: Always in my lexicon---but...
subdued, somewhat. Passionate?
Mmm! Yeah. But, not---Wild!
 
Motivation: Sure. For the "fun", the
"excitement" of the pursuit of the "game".
 

Ambition" and "motivation" are very much
like "intent" and "purpose" in that the pair is a
symbiotic necessity to result in---Success!
 
I mustered the ambition, when necessary.
Managed necessary motivation, for "fun".
 
Enough? Yeah. For me.
 
Once or twice I had a few quarters, at the same time.
 
Success never measured in "treasure" (money).
 
Independent-Individual stirred my soul, soared my spirit.
 
In a word:  Freedom! Ah! Sweet taste of Life!
 
Maybe that's why the "rich" are so very scarce?
 
My "treasure" is not subject to "measure" in any
monetary accounting; it lives within; it is my spirit!
 
So? Why this introspection? Now? At my age?
 
Regret? Guilt? Transgression-Confession?
NO! Nothing so altruistic for a confessed "Hedonist".
Well! Sort of! By reputation, if not, in fact!
But---no...regrets! No apologies! Not to self.
 
Only---If...I had planned, conformed ( a little), then,
I might be better able to help a life-love, now. Not
that the I-I (Independent-Individual) would allow such.
 
It would just make me feel better.
 
But, I, and, more importantly, my "Love", will be okay.
 
Always! Forever! Eternal!
 
Redemption! And, Salvation! Yes!
 
Love is all there is; all there needs to ever be!
 
Smile! My love! Tomorrow dawns: Hope!
 
We'll make it through; we always do!
 
Faith! Family! Freedom! Life!
 
Amen! (Always & Forever!)


Excerpt from "Horizon Dawn" by Carl Schuler


Author’s note

 

Finding excuse for a trek to colorful Colorado in an ad in a horse magazine inviting interested prospective buyers to visit the Arab equines on this Wisconsin family’s western ranch, we plodded westward for a vacation to the mountains with an added venture to seek out the horses.

Having hit our usual high spot haunts among the myriad summits including Rocky Mountain National Park above Estes Park, south along the Blue River to Frisco and Breckenridge, Cripple Creek and the “Springs” on to Canon City via the old stage coach road through the Sangre de Cristos on west to visit Royal Gorge and finally, to Salida for our turn north to the Arab ranch.

Pulling into the only fuel station in the little burg, a ramshackle weathered wooden false-fronted western establishment version of the modern “C” store, I stopped at the single pump and began the fill-up. On an unsteady, ancient bench in front of the business sat a “wraith” next to a little boy hastily licking away at an ice cream treat; the ghost was speaking to the urchin. The gaunt old man wore a dirty, ragged buckskin shirt which hung on his bony frame like wash blowing in the wind carelessly snagged on the slim branches of a long-dead tree; his too-short pants showed ragged cuffs above dusty ankles and worn out moccasins. An ancient leather hat covered matted, greasy thick black hair, the lid sporting various sized holes. He appeared Indian.

His “captive” audience might have been a grandchild in the old man’s care. The boy, about seven, or so, held the stick-end of a vanilla ice cream bar covered in hard, milk chocolate. His missing two front bottom teeth made his task difficult and the warm weather turned the treat a messy, runny liquid quicker than the child could eat. A chunk of delicious chocolate escaped the ice cream and fell onto his exposed leg below the hem of his torn and tattered short pants; the old man retrieved the delicacy, plopping it into his mouth; the boy didn’t seem to notice or to mind.

I moseyed over their way hearing the old Indian say, in that staccato, chopped, single-syllable grunting of the Native American dialects, the words “Our people” as he spoke to the boy.

“Arapahoe?” I inquired, interpreting his words into the native meaning.

Looking up at my unsolicited interruption, he offered what might have been a hinted smile beginning, or, just a silent castigation at the “white-eyes” to mind his own business. Silence!

“Uh…Sorry!” I began. “Didn’t mean to interrupt. Just knew ‘Arapahoe’ meant ‘Our people’.”

The Indian smiled, then, and nodded, reaching for another escaped tidbit of chocolate icing.

The old Indian picked up a cardboard flat from under the bench and laid it in his lap; the boy sat up straighter to get a view of the contents, obviously interested. The man ran his gnarled, leather-tanned fingers over the stones in the box, feeling each, searching a decision.

Finally, he took one from the contents, rubbed it clean of dirt, held it up in the sun to scrutinize it, smiled, handed his prize to me and said, “A copper sample---for…you!”

He placed a golf ball size rock of bronze, green, white and yellow-gold in my palm. Beautiful!

We went on to view the Arabian horses up on the mountain that day; a fine adventure.

In that futile search for “Happiness” through material accumulation exists satiated time-space.

My deep appreciation for the “simple” things of this life was re-focused, that trip. Ah! Love!

I found it on the summit among cerulean pristine clarity. Enjoy! Mon Amie! It’s right---there!

 

Overlook not the orchid searching out a rose-pleasure

Taste sweet the sugar-honey lick of life’s true-treasure

 

Amen!

Sunday!

 
Begin---again!
 
 
Spectator of equitation!
 
Riding lessons for all three granddaughters today.
 
Let the festivities begin!
 
Sisters, Lauren and Anna Marie, aboard, respectively, 
that fabulous silver-"Mr. G" and el masked bandito,
that suave black-Spaniard "El diablo Zorro"
take the arena in the morning while
cousin Lexi mounts "King"-Leo
a bit later in the day.
 
Saturday entertained the viewers with spectacular
field equitation at the cross-country events
featuring the sister-act, Miss Lauren and Miss Annie.
 
Another great weekend extravaganza provided by
our fantastic equestrian participants!
 
Great fun! For---all!
 
Wouldn't miss it---always...an exciting adventure!
 
"Riders! Mount!"
 
Amen!

Friday, April 8, 2016

A better day?

 
Absolutely!
 
 
Each new dawn beginning another
day---better than...the one just passed.
 
For sure! Try it! You'll like it!
 
Amen!

400 Posts

 
Milestone
 
 
Time---flies?
 
A cliché...when you're having fun.
 
Seems like only yesterday when "HCI" was born.
Now, 400 posts! The proverbial...WOW!
 
From where do the ideas come? Just---from...Life.
 
And, a perspective of curiosity, hope and love.
Of life, nature, justice, faith, charity, truth, civility.
Even: Tolerance (bestowed---and...expected).
Might even hold a modicum of: Creativity!?
If---I had any such? 
 
All we can do is Good toward each other
Our best is to offer Love to one another
 
Honest! Humor! Humble! Focus contemplate!
Vigilant be! Not a single future be ever late!
 
Faith! Family! Freedom! Might just be all there really---Is!
In one eternal instant the only mercy-blessing will be...His!
 
Triumph the event! Live & Love the adventure!
 
Let the good times roll! Rock on!
With a prayer, a wish, a smile!
For---you...and, me!
 
Why? Simple: I love life---and...you!
 
Amen!

KISS!

 
Keep It Simple Stupid!
 
 
Everything IS Simple; "if" and "when"
the Truth is told.
 
Doubt it? Try it! Amazing!
 
The "issues" are NOT difficult;
"We" (collectively) are definitely---Convoluted!
By: Design (Our own...Purposeful and with exact intention)
 
Come on! Folks! Get over it; we are not complicated!
 
Our "Purpose" is Life (survival); our "Intent" is Happiness!
 
Each worthy goal is at hand:
"Life" is a gift---Enjoy it!
"Happiness" is a choice...Embrace it!
 
Challenge: Life! How? Again, simple:
"Fear not! Follow Me!"
 
The solutions are there; just, open your eyes.
 
Amen! 

Difference?

 
Love & Respect
 
 
Different as night and day; not the same thing---at all.
 
Love is a "Gift" bestowed; Respect must be "earned".
Each is intently personal; neither can be conscripted.
 
This Gift is emotional; the Earn is pragmatic.
Reasons for the first are often obfuscated (unclear);
the second stands tall upon solid-practical foundation.
 
In a light of honesty:
each must be a conclusion born of true premises.
any faux result becomes self-defeating of intent,
narcissistic of purpose; neither can be simply created.
 
Un-Truth is always an "evil" event without merit;
Truth prevails standing tall in revealing objective light.
 
To wit:
No matter how many subscribe to any given "un-truth",
in the end analysis, paralysis denies "collective" truth.
 
"What difference does it make?"
 
Night and day!
Always did; still does; will for eternity!
 
All choice, therefore, is most simple, every time:
Choose---Truth!
 
Immediate and eternal rewards to that conclusion are:
Celestial!
 
Amen!

Happy Birthday! Nurse Jennifer!

Happy Birthday!
Beautiful Nurse Jen!
April 4, 2016
 
So many smiles thee has brought one and all
Looks and grace! No wonder Z.-man did fall
A sacred personality: Helping mankind---your call
 
Sweet as sugar candy; pretty as an ocean vista
He sends us who we need, always in time “just-a”
Thankful is all the gang that we haven’t missed “ya”
 
Celebrate! With a little dance your awesome day
“Congratulations! Go! Girl!” We all sincerely say
Wonderful! You are! Nurse Jenna “Happy Birthday!”
 
Coquettishly-demure in that special way, not shy
I pray thee use our gift to give it the ole college try
In that Polish Pottery dish bake a cherry-custard pie
 
Accomplishments galore! For one quite so (Jung)
In thy early prime have hardly even just yet begun
May Love! and Happiness! Your life-refrain be sung
 
Where? From here? To on the ‘morrow promise dawn
Serene in time like yon whitetail doe with frolic-fawn
In bucolic pasture scene of space never to be gone
 
Such pure delight thee are, me darlin’ damsel-beauty
A dazzling bright alabaster-white full moon-light cutie
Responsible mature nurse-pretty knows her sworn duty
 
With a brand new cousin Z. Tyler “dang cute” brags
Granny Angie, Grandad Craig proud wear their new tags
Nurse Jenn-a, Tyler-man way too far behind lags???
 
Whatever course you choose or trace thee follows is just fine
We love you full-pride, approve thou intelligent straight line
Both families with you in design
Bring pleasure-times events refine
Embrace thy dreams as thee define
