Happy Birthday Carol and Antoinette

April seven is joined together in two special ways My wife and Carol Brown were each born that day In so many ways, they remind me of each other For each one has the heart and soul of a mother Like a great big clown riding a little bitty bike Antoinette and Carol are the type we naturally like Two separate women who hold pieces of my heart Although, each one holds a completely different part Antoinette was able to see what no one had seen Inside of this nightmare lived a very beautiful dream Carol’s beautiful heart was able to help me to see Poetry Soup was exactly the place I needed to be Two very different women with two similar souls Played significant roles in my reaching my goals One helped me piece together my shattered heart The other helped me keep it from falling back apart I think I’m truly about as lucky as any man can be There are so many different people care about me Carol is just one of many I love here on the soup I’m lucky to have landed in such a beautiful group Carol, never doubt the truth in these words I say This is the highest complement I could ever pay To be written alongside a poem with my wife Means “I Love & Respect” every drop of your life You’re the very first to have landed in this spot Old friend I reckon that means I love you a lot April seventh I’ll proudly find my knee’s and pray You’ll have a wonderfully blessed special birthday i wanted to write Carol a Happy Birthday poem but I wanted to give it special meaning. Anyone who knows how much I love, admire, and adore my wife; knows that for me to place someone in a poem alongside her, is the highest complement I could ever make. Carol thank you for the love, friendship, support and prayers you have given me over the years. I'm very honored to be your friend.
