Birthday Wishes



Warmest Birthday Wishes

Belated Greetings, Cousin.
We are both Nanas, now!
I remember us playing cutouts,
in front of your living room door.

We'd set up a little table and 
charming little chairs, too.
The door would be open and 
screened, so we could see the
sky, so wonderfully bright and blue.

We's walk to Fairyland and enjoy 
the Merry Go Round.
And Cousin Lon, if you listen
closely, you will still hear the 
sound!

You were such a wee, pretty.
little angel!
And I was so very blessed to
take care of you.

You still are as sweet now as 
you were then!
We both are older, yes!
But the bond between us will 
never end, that's my guess!

Happy Birthday!
