Happy Birthday! Anna Marie! (20!) Wow! Yea!

 

Happy Birthday! Anna Marie!
(May 25, 2023 20! Wow Celebrate! Yea!)
 
Jr.! U-K Upper classman! Wow! Comes our Beauty! Anna Marie!
Genius-intellect! To us mere average-“peons” seems “serendipity”!
“Look-out! Old-world! Here comes Lovely-Anna for everyone to see!”
 
Always with a razor-focus “sense-of-humor” miles ahead
While most complain-of-rain Annie dances smiles-instead
 
Beauty! & Brains! A most deadly envied combination
So far ahead of all, her acumen generates consternation
 
Saintly-Angel Personality! Abounds in “Goodness!”-to-a-fault
Any who know our Annie love-her with sacred-reverence exalt
 
For this summer Miss Anna asks loved-ones to please “excuse”
A “research” sabbatical-hiatus REU to New York, Syracuse
 
And---Oh!...How special-boys, her absence, they shall lament
Ole Connor-man shed a wet-tear that sad-day when Annie went
Athlete-Harrison rock-climbed an Appalachian-rock vertical-vent
Erudite-Colin wrote prose and cards away to far-northeast, he sent
Spirit-Michael sang a serenade beneath a golden-hush full moon bent
Each admirer truly loves her! Annie only has eyes for her “Zorro”-gent
 
Despair-not! Oh! Pursuing-quad! Studies resume in coming-fall!
Back to “normal” college “Life-with-Annie” high-academia call
 
Most-intellectuals “Reach-for-the-stars” to diamond-glisten holy-Glory!
Annie knows the secret: There ain’t no box! Writes her own sacred-story!
 
If there be obfuscated enigma---Seek Truth!...Forever a-purpose Appreciate!
Find common-Value!---Practice into Virtue!...Like Anna---Love!...encapsulate!
 
Seek “Good”-adventure in each event-of-life with Christian-generous Grace!
Imprint a “positive”-whisper shadow-trace along thy gifted time-through-space
 
Say, “Thank you!” Easy---“Please?” Seldom!...Only if of dire-necessity
Search “Measure! Treasure! Pleasure!” Be of Unrestricted-perspicacity
 
Lovely Young-Lady Anna Marie! Embrace the-dawn! Celebrate high-sun noon!
Join-me to Appreciate-cherish life just a bit south of yon alabaster-pale full moon!

Amen!
 
Happy Birthday! Love, Nanny & Bapa
