A few more consideration highlights…
Seven
perfect-precious spirit-stones adorn me only golden crown
Lady Candice! Z.
Tyler! Caty! Becky! Lauren! Lexi! Annie! Found!
Live!
Love! Laugh! Focus
contemplate!
Vigilant be! Not
one 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!
“Thunder” George
(1968-2014)
Sweet heart-chord
melody tender-touching Irish folk-song
Reminder true of
a single human brotherhood we each belong
Experienced not
the pleasure to greet George-“Celtic” in me time
Yet,
kindred-spirit caressed me heart-chord with clear loving chime
Away he sailed
to live in me spirit-soul real men love-lament forlorn
Amen!
Lyrics from a
Jimmy Dean tune locked in me memory…
Put on your old
grey bonnet
with the blue
ribbon on it
while I hitch
ole “Zorro” to the sleigh,
through the
fields of clover
we’ll drive up
to Dover---
on our Golden Wedding Day!
Benediction:
Elegance thee
brought to this vacant vagabond
Thy grace and
beauty-faith like magic of a wand
Children-progeny
“perfect-quality” for which I longed
In a
challenge-cold world thee saw fit that I belonged
Within our Love I lived my sacred “Amazing
Grace”-song!
Amen! Thank thee! Happy Golden Anniversary!

Act I
George
Washington and the infamous cherry tree
Scene
1 April, 1960, Bapa chopping down a
tree in his grandma’s back yard
Bapa: Oh! Oh! There’s that beauty Candy-babe I’ve
heard so much about. Better not let her think I saw her; she’d never give me a
second look. (Chop! Chop! Chop!)
L.V. Hey! Big boy! Don’t hurt yourself!
Bapa: Wow! Is she talking to---me!? (Chop! Chop!) Yee-Ow!
Girls:
(interrupting, laughing) L.V.: Bapa!
Dear! Did you…
A.E.: chop down Grandma’s…
A.M.: cherry tree?
Bapa: (stammering): Uh! Er! Um! Okay! I cannot tell a lie. I was “just watching”.
Right? Z.? I learned that from him! But, I actually witnessed that dreaded
cherry tree being chopped down by---you guessed it…George Washington!
Girls: (laughing
and shaking their fingers at Bapa)
Scene 2 Soon after, as Candy-girl strolls down
Main Street, a red and white Chevy pulls up alongside and comes to a stop. It
is Thanksgiving eve.
Bapa:
Hey! Good-lookin’! Would you like a ride? Might just turn out to be your
lucky night!
Lexi: You bet! Handsome-boy! (And, she hopped
right in---and…slid right on over!)
Scene 3 January 11 in a
terrible blizzard.
Bapa: I love snow! Sure is beautiful---just…like
you. (And, he kissed her)
A.M.: It sure is cold; but, I am enjoying the
warmth. (And that one little innocent kiss--Well!)
Act II
Handsome Z.
Tyler has a gift offering for his Nanny
Scene
1 Z. gives Nanny a wrapped
present. As she opens it, our girls sing:
Z.T.: Remember the hint---A bee!
Girls: (singing):
Put on your old
grey bonnet
with the blue
ribbon on it,
while I hitch
ole “Zorro” to the sleigh.
Through the
fields of clover,
we’ll drive up
to Dover,
on our Golden
weddin’day!
Girls: A bee in your bonnet! Nanny!
Scene 2 Z. gives Nanny another gift.
Z.T.: Second clue, Nanny: A special
vignette.
Girls: (as Nanny opens the gift): Your favorite “garden” view
Scene 3 Z. Tyler offers his Nanny a third
present.
Z.T.: “For your eyes only! Nanny!”
Girls: (as Nanny open her present):
(all): Golden
Anniversary
(November 25,
2016)
(L.V.) Chosen? to be “Blessed”---Oh!...”Simple” me
In “Perfect”
Authority He bequeathed Thee
Life-serenity
ebb-flow on a turquoise amour-sea
(A.E.) And, should this Rebel! Rascal! Rogue!
Gain---Love!
Then, could such
thistle in wild-wind ever be a soft glove?
So, would share
love-nest thou angelic pure white dove
(A.M.) Darlin’ girl-child twice blessed enhanced
perfect-pleasure
Attitude-bright
love-life enjoy nature an easy true-measure
Four
“children-grand” golden crown jewels glowing-treasure
(L.V.) Confess: Ne’er do well; Transgress: Never
amount to worldly much
Forest-floor
musty leaves, Morels pop, Red-ear spawn and plain such
Yet, in
kind-heart in gentle-soul of spirit-wild sows me true love-touch
(A.E.) Two hearts independent syncopated-beat rising
symphony-melody
A sacred
promise-prayer forever pure-pledge eternal celestial fidelity
“Green acres”
farm-boy honors nature, plants trees; to miss---a vacant pity
(A.M.) Quick-tempted to follow pine-scent wind-born
of the purple mountain-call
Climb the summit
pinnacle to view an eagle from above to stand proud-tall
My Oregon-blue
Pacific mistress beckons seductress to challenge faux-fall
(L.V.) Me gypsy-spirit refuses root-bound be held;
the wild wide-world awaits
On a pond
winter-frozen grey-steel ice sheen tempts innocent blade-skates
There, in a
north-whistling frigid wind I kissed thee into a future never late
(A.E.) Oh! Silver wing-ed unicorn wild-freedom
restrained in a tether-halter
Set free me
spirit-dream to join adventure-imagined might never falter
Soar yon
universe, slide rainbow color, view flutter-by at spiritual-altar
(A.M.) Perhaps? Me Love! Me honored trinity proud-displayed on golden gonfalon
White letters
bold-pure on red pennant unfurled proclaims victory fair-won
I delight Live! Love! Laugh! In Faith! Family! Freedom!
Perpetual---un-done
(L.V.) Me angel-babe smooth-paves life’s calling
lane half a century plus several eons more
(A.E.) Any map I cast aside, rules defiled; an Independent-Individual seeking a fantasy
shore
(A.M.) Our talented boy and girls, and Thee, scribe sweet notes on me precious
serendipity score
(all) Proudly! Lovely Lady Candice Leah
I display, quite
honored: I Love Thee!
Then. Now.
Forever more: Happy Anniversary!
Love, Carl
Scene 4: Z.
Tyler gives Nanny a final present---Maybe!?
Z.T.: “Let the sunshine! Nanny! Let the sun
shine in! Eternal Rainbow!”
Girls: We definitely want to “see”
your rainbow! Nanny!
Act III (Faux) Epilogue---?
Bapa: And, that concludes our little
presentation for the evening…
Girls: (looking around---confused): Huh?
Bapa!? The final hint is a Surprise!
Bapa: Uh!---Oh! Yeah!...(He looks worried,
like he forgot something.) Uh…er…
“Z”? Do you have another present?---I
hope! (Z shakes his head, sadly.)
L.V.:
Bapa! Er---Santa Claus! You
promised!
A.E.: Yeah! And, you never break your word,
Santa Claus.
A.M. Yeah! Old Bapa! Santa Claus always makes miracles happen.
Bapa: (embarrassed):
But---Girls!...Please! (The three shake their fingers at him.)
(Bapa takes a drink of Coke, nervously,
trying to think of something.)
Bapa: Oh! Boy! How am I gonna get out of
this fine mell-of-a-hess?
(Suddenly, he begins choking and puts a
kerchief to his mouth as he coughs.)
A.M. Bapa! Are you okay!? I’m sorry!
A.E.: Yeah! Bapa! We didn’t mean to upset
you!
L.V.: Gee! (pauses) That’s the name of my
horse, too! (giggles) We’re all real
sorry!
Bapa: (looking in his handkerchief): Oh!
Dear Girls! It’s okay. But, I just lost a tooth… (he looks to Nanny handing her the “tooth” in the kerchief) Will you keep this for me? Dear wife?
Girls: (groaning): Oh! No! Bapa! You’re
not going to give her your---tooth!? Yuck!
Bapa: Girls! Please! Your Nanny will NOT mind, not one little bit. I assure
you.
(With that affirmation, he hands the
“tooth” in the cloth to Nanny.)
(Bapa, Z.T. and Girls yell): Surprise! Nanny! Happy Golden Anniversary!
Now--- the
“real”…
Epilogue

Lovely Lady Candice Leah’s gifts are delivered:
