Poem
Happy Birthday Delightful Daughter of the Dawn ~Designed from the embers of my mind~ Pull down the shades of your blue eyes Drifting towards evenings soft lullabies Supportive bunny pillow 'neath your head A fable story that I read Snippets of cuddling as I tucked you to bed Moments shared stitched in my heart Of your precious life that I did chart You were so much older then your younger then that now Funny shadow figures on the wall How we made them look so tall A puppet show outside, bay window as your stage Until you fell and puppets accidently plunged That expression of sheer outrage your face did engage When your tiny head suddenly accusingly lunged I laughed 'til I cried as I intuited your desire to expunge You were so much older then your younger then that now Bubble baths, Pig tails and worn melted slippers as you sought warmth from forced hot air On chilly mornings standing atop the simple heaters grill As I viewed your nightgown floating up, such a thrill Precious moments etched in time beyond compare Simple cans for telephones with knotted plastic wires As you and your sister shared your different desires Embers of love that fuel my minds fires, sweetness inspires You were so much older then your younger then that now Pummel horse, beam, bars and floor so many things you wanted to explore You danced and sailed through the air So many proud moments we got to share Index cards for spelling bees You were always eager to please Snippets in time we can not freeze Yet when they circulate from time to time My minds eye is genuinely appeased You were so much older then your younger then that now ~ I LOVE YOU~
