Happy Birthday! Darlin' Rachel!

 
Happy Birthday! Rachel Rebecca!
(July 9, 2018 “Bob-a-Lou!”)
 
Cute-as-a-button! Perpetual-smile! Our precious “Bobi”-girl!
Beauty! Intelligence! Talent! Best-Mom! Wild-spirit swirl!
 
My 2nd little “shadow”-buddy, yonder, in those carefree early-days
White-stallion wild-ride! Softball! Morels! Riding-in-the-creek plays!
 
Cheer-leader! “Bill Logan” tennis-star! Straight-“A” student-smart!
Compassion for the myriad animal-pets! Ole Stormy pulls the cart!
 
Took thee out of school to play golf (fetch thrown clubs) with ole Dad
You told Mom I anger-threw a club---no more golf for you…too sad!
 
Taught you to drive when only 12; once thee drove the cart on a course
My “whirly-bird” golf sticks did fly---should be our secret…Of course!
 
Won millions on the lottery (you thought) and I burned the ticket
A sick-sad joke I played; did ye really say, “Dad! You can stick it!”?
 
Made up imagined-tales of that Old-West when we would spirit-ride
“Little” Lady-horse and “Big-blood bay” saddlebag- lunch creek-side
 
Taught you to swim and ride the old white-stallion steed
Never hurt you?---at least…No real emergency medical-need
 
Kicked your “horse-y” shoe onto the table---Plop!...right into my plate!
That’s quite alright!---I still love you! (a little)…let me focus-contemplate!
 
Thank you! More than I could ever say. My-girl! My-friend! My Love!
My Precious-7 I adore in-Love! My gift from Almighty God above!
 
Myriad-memories! My sacred treasure-measure trove-delight
For sunshine on a cloudy-day thy image–focus in my sight
 
 
Perfect-progeny---I be blessed…thee truly blossomed with children
That Lottery-of-life---challenge…with Faith! Family! Freedom!-win
 
Know only Truth---I love thee!...then all the rest must fall in place
Each day---I focus: Live! Love! Laugh!...I’ve already won this race
 
Happy Birthday!
 
Love, Mom & Dad
Happy Birthday-wishes! Our-Becky!
(July 9, 2018)
 
 
Wish I may! Wish I might!
(a loving limerick)
 
In thy awesome-manner selfless-grace Sweet Rachel-girl
Whisper-wind Love in charity-time to sacred family-whirl
For each thee true-loves with tender-heart focus-devotion
An angel golden-halo glow becomes thou celestial-emotion
No less than total effort-perfect in universe eternal-swirl
 
Happy Birthday!
Amen!
 
Just a few more “Daddy”-love thoughts:
 
Would I had it “all”? (I do!) Freely---to Thee…my precious-7!
Could I but bottle “Love!”---a life-time supply…to Family!
Should humble-I dispense “Peace!”---a slice-eternal…for Thee!
Thank you! Dear Girl! For blessings-special: Lauren & Anna Marie!
A chance to love through life the “special”-gift you are
Joy love-ride the equine-noble horse-steed mutual-play
To share my Mother Nature seasons-delight with thee
Smell fresh the subtle-tingle foretelling magic white-snow
January-frigid wind-laced ice-crystal sculpted sparkle-waves
Roses/candy to thou workplace celebrating St. Valentine’s Day
Cadenced-March to play snowball-fight inside Mom’s house
Coolness-drenched in April-shower to “pop” delicacy-Morel
Garden-work to flower-bed May-fauna myriad-color display
Summer-June soft whisper-wind respite in filigree maple-shade
July 4th Independence-Day to spur a spirit-wild---Boom!-Boom!
August hellion brings summer fun-end as dreaded school-bell calls
White-puff soft clouds scene float warm-September’s cerulean-abyss
October regal-red-robe spent to usher Halloween full moon-freight
November-Thanksgiving Day family-delight turkey dinner-feast
And, best---Ole Santa Claus (me!)…December-Christmas Day
Rainbows! Butterflies! Unicorns!---hues-colors-soar…ride-wild!
Maybe---a special-occasion…”some” foo-fah-rah extravagance? Hmm!
 
All---splendor-adventure Love!...best-shared with fabulous-family!
And---myriad memories…cherished-details promise-fulfill: One-great-life!
Amen!
 You go---Girl! You...Rock! Wild-child!
Happy Birthday! Our Miss Rachel-girl! Love, Mom & “Daddy”
