First Birthday Party

I thank you, Mother Nature, For you kept the rain at bay So all the kids were in the yard For Henry’s party day. Though clouds looked ready to unload And skies were steely gray, The swing set, balls and horseshoe set Kept everyone at play. Balloons gave things a festive air And pizza came our way, So everyone was happy, Grins and laughter on display. The cake was smushed, the candle blown, Some tears appeared, but hey – The rain held off and all had fun On Henry’s party day.

Even nature collaborated for Henry to have a wonderful birthday! It seems that he is a great kid but this no one seems to doubt when he so lucky is to have you as grandmother! Enjoyable, dear Ilene!

Ilene what a lovely poem you have written here for your grandson, sounds very much like the parties our grandchildren used to have, they are all too old now to have parties in fact we don't even see them now as our youngest is five and oldest is 18, I am sure Henry will enjoy many more, take care my friend...........Vera........
