Birthday Girl

Am I being too bold? To say Lordy! You’re OLD Old enough to grow Old enough to know Old enough to show Old enough to sow Old enough to flow Old enough to glow… Glowing as you are Glowing as a star that sparkles so bright at the speed of light… ***Written for a very special and unique lady to celebrate her upcoming birthday (Oh well, what the hell…It’s for her contest too)

We are all old enough to grow and grow and grow some more!! :) ps..........thanks my fellow operatic friend, for guiding me to Aretha Franklin's rendition of Nessun Dorma...........wow!!!!!! Who would have thought that a soul singing diva could dish that amazing piece like that........substituting for Pavarotti, no less!! I had never seen that video.......I loved it.......thanks Tim.....not many share the love of opera.....see what they are missing???????????? lol !!!
