Happy
Birthday! Catherine Elizabeth!
(February
11, 2020)---Yea! Ride-wild the yonder Whisper-wind!
Brown-eyed
Blonde-beauty of extreme-intelligence and talent-true
A
wife and perfect-mother devoted to
all-the-greatness that you-do
But,
first, my little-girl! A tom-boy on a horse; can shoot real-well!
Yet,
in a lovely-dress---Oh! Boy!...Our gorgeous Southern-Belle!
Insisted
on a horse at “4”; taught dad to ride on ole Lady-girl
Sent
her off across the fields alone on a trail-ride fantasy-swirl
One
fine Thanksgiving-Day Beth came back leading Lady-horse
She
came-off with a broken collar-bone! My-fault!
Of course!
It
mended-fine and all went-well as we built our equine-herd so
Commander!
Midget! April! Ara! Spirit! Lady! Stormy! Beau!
Mowing
our old huge-yard working on her deep bronze-tan
Mom’s-rule! Morning for work! Then, a
swimming-pool fan!
So
very-proud of you in all the exciting adventure-endeavor fun
Splash-riding
the creek! Vacations! Tin-Lizzy! I love
you! Hon!
Straight-“A’s”! Always! Got cerebral-talent from
your-mother!
I
once had an “A”---had…the report-card
of some kid-other!?
When
you began to drive I was so very-proud and excited for-you
Saved
me myriad-time and you honored your independence-due!
In-separable
with kid-sister Becky-girl as we sure-enough had us a-time
Never got any-change
from Rachel!? Beth returned every single-dime!
Had
a job! Once!? Really!? Hid the bonus-cash in each closed-hand
“Pick-one!
Girls!” 100-dollar bill! Each!
Ah!-Fun! Well-planned!
Moon-light
rides on the levee! Adventure-bound! 63-riders mounted!
Becky
asleep in my arms in the-saddle; adventure-fun times counted!
Off
to ole Oregon-land Willamette-University to study lawyer-kind
Vanderbilt
in Nashville to conclude-endeavor for a J.D.-degree
find
So
very-pretty and genius-smart! My Erin-Regan! Proud! We-are!
Z.
Tyler and Lexi-girl! Perfect! Just-begun---sacred!...Success-far!
Happy
Birthday!
Beth! Love,
Mom & Poppa
