Happy Birthday! Beth!

(February 11, 2020) Yea!

 

Sweet-memories!---savored…until…forever…

 

February 11, 1967---warm!?...Mom painting but…Beth is-coming!

I had to work at A&P food store---Drat!...”Reverse”-gear went-out!

Love! At-first-sight!---Amen!...I loved you before that special-day!

I broke 2-rocking chairs holding you to give you a nap! Fun!-Fun!

Money was scarce as hen’s-teeth; bread-bags were your snow-boots!

What we did have in abundance was precious-sacred Love! Amen!

You wanted a horse from about age-2; we soon had “Little”-Lady!

Good ole Lady-horse taught us all to-ride! Getty-up! Go!-Girl!

We planted trees and shrubs and flowers; thanks for the fragrant-shade!

Fox-Lake was a favorite-haunt and state-parks with myriad-picnics!

One warm February you caught 22-bluegill, I got -0-! Way-to-go!

Vincent Price Studios put Beautiful-Beth’s picture in their mall-window!

We played---always…I hope you found treasure-measure as did-I!

Meramec Springs State Park near St. James, MO! Trout-hatchery!

Hawaii! Nashville! Chicago! Colorado! Oregon! Canada! Europe!

1st of my straight-“A” students! Each-girl takes after their mother!? Wow!

Cardinal ball-games! Ice-skating! Sled-riding! Trail-rides! Horse-shows!

“Little Golden”-books! A new “Youth”-saddle for Christmas! Great!

Skipping-rocks across the lake-surface at ole Fox-Lake! You were Good!

Talent at the piano! Soft-ball! (Do-not pull that outside-pitch!) Hmm!?

A .22 rifle when you turned 12!---Annie Oakley…reborn! “10-ring!”

Bike-riding! Nanny got her first-ever “new”-bicycle for Christmas!

Taught you to drive! A big-help with chores on our farm! Thank-you!

Pets! Dogs! Cats! Horses! Cattle! Sheep! Ducks! Chickens! A-turkey!

Off to college at S.I.U.! So very-proud of your myriad-accomplishments!

Law-school in Salem, Oregon at Willamette University! Grand-times!

3rd-year “visiting”-student at Vanderbilt in Nashville earning a J.D.-degree.

Successful-lawyer! Respected! Admired! Emulated! (a-judge!?---Yes!)

One fantastic-daughter! (the kind of child parents pray for!) Thank-you!

And, with all those accolades (and, more)---finally…absolute-Perfection!

Z. Tyler and our Lexi-girl!---Oh! My!...Angels in our sacred-lives! Amen!

You Go!-Girl! You-rock! It just gets better-’n-better! I-promise! Amen!

Thank you! Darling-girl1 For our myriad “precious”-memories! Amen!

 

I have led an undeserving “charmed” Great-life filled with sacred-blessings!

I had the kind of children parents pray for---my Mom & Dad…got-me!?

A cosmos-enigma: In yon begin-fiat an end-conclusion begin-redundant continuum!

(It ends where ’ere it begins “deja-vu” all-over again---and, again…and, again…)

Faith! Family! Freedom! Might just be all there really---Is!

In one eternal-instant the only mercy-blessing will be…His!

Happy Birthday! Darling-Beth! Love, Mom & Poppa
