(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
