Birthday Blessings, Maria Elena
Oh, it's more than difficult, penning this poem.
It's your birthday,daughter, and with a bad cold, I am stuck at home!
Thank you for your fifty-two loving years of life!
Watching you grow from infant to today,a fantastic mother and wife.
Your are a true American patriot, too.
How proud I was when you were elected to public office!
And still honor God, and the Red, White and the Blue.
You are a true giver in every sense of that word.
When people need anything, you are their very sustenance bird.
You have read every poem I ever wrote.
Not all children do~ what's more, you wrote close to 1,200 appreciation
notes!
Hardly, a top Poet here, I tried so hard at first,but now re-thinking,
I don't belong here much longer,
There is something far bigger~ I thirst.
Life is full of highways and by-ways, I think you know that.
So I hope God lets me know what's next..with a little note at midnight
in my thinking cap.
Enjoy your sparkling candles and most delicious cake!
Because you know the magic of how to give, more than to take.
You are the epitome of walking love with a smile for everyone.
And your son, Eddie,just like you, shines as the noonday son.
Love eternally and gratefully~
Mom and Irene ^~^
