Jinu Turned Six

Jinu Turned Six The house was decorated with balloons and buntings Family cheered as Jinu turned six in the leap year gone by Multiply it by four, but my Jinu remained glued to six She lives away but her heart is here I baked two cotton cheese cakes atop with apricot icing For my friends at work and family at home Placed it before her photograph and all blew out the candles Little mementos for the children of friends For Jinu was once a sweet buttercup like them We remembered her growing up years and Nostalgically went through the leaves of the album Encrypted with her hairdo's and style trends There were her happy smiling faces since she was a babe Prancing around table tops and trees with Lucy her pet to Her unforgettable winter marriage celebrations On a thick foggy night where some got lost enroute Yet danced the night through to the rhythm of music Memories of children churn up on birthday celebrations By parents whose children remain in far away homes Touché! Her seventh birthday is around the corner Jinu turns seven and her baby will turn three! January 28, 2016 Contest: Birthday Party Sponsor: Nayda Ivette Negron
