Happy Birthday! Our "Becky"-girl! We love you!

 (Written and re-read with "Tears-of-Joy!" Amen!)


Happy Birthday! Becky!

(July 9, 2022! Celebrate! Yea)

 

Comes special time to celebrate once a year

We never need an excuse to rouse Good cheer!

 

Wow! My precious time does sail away

So glad I spent it all in Fun! ’n Play!

 

You are very much like me---Better sense…I hope!

Always a bright smile and happy to with life cope

 

Couldn’t wait for dreaded “school” day to end; not me---but…You!

Picked you up at Maeystown Hoefft’s to pay your candy-tab; one fine

day poor Nanny had to write ole Rick a check---too big…the bill!

 

Then, off to home where I had Little Lady, our Welsh Pony all

tacked and ready along with that “Big blood bay”, Commander.

 

Off we’d race to the rock bottom creek for “fun and games!

How come “Daddy” always ended up “drowned”? I love it!

 

My Dad always had “BIG” gardens; I hated vegetables!

He “allowed” me to be the gardener!? Huh!? I swore I’d

never have a garden once I moved out on my own! Amen!

 

Then, little Rachel Rebecca came along and in her sweetness

asked, “ Daddy! Can we have---a…garden!?Oh! No! But,

I didn’t say a word; went to town and bought a tiller! Amen!

 

My shadow-girl for many years; now---I try to emulate…Becky!

 

Runs through the woods like a whitetail deer

Finds my Morels with a feast we celebrate-cheer

 

 Bohleysville-acres farm property---now Daddy’s new found…Ole Fox Lake

Took my girl to the annual meeting with Charlie “mud clots” for Pete’s sake

 

From hither to yon we’ve Wild-adventure covered some ground

Atlantic! to Pacific! Mountains! Canada! Europe! Quest-bound!

 

And---If  Daddy’s luck holds and…I still get my way

I won the Lottery-of-life with a Perfect-family at play

Amen!

 

Happy Birthday!---Thanks for all your very best!...Love, Mom & Daddy
