A Special Birthday

“The darkened sky stole my tears,” as morning sunshine disappears. Today's her birthday- ninety years and rainy weather interferes. She loves the outdoors- wild frontiers. In early times, with pioneers, she traveled far with two careers. But now, those days are souvenirs. She has two friends- each one adheres to lifestyles spent in outdoor spheres. And now I pray, as fun time nears, the sun will shine as the sky clears. The darkened sky stirred up my fears- I now see sunlight in arrears! The sound of voices fills my ears- as she arrives, all clap with cheers!
