Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

The Leos In My Life

There are many Leos in my life
With August birthday dates.
We sang to Hadley for today,
Her 5th she celebrates.

On Saturday, my husband’s day,
He’ll say he’s 53,
Just like he’s done for many years,
But that’s okay with me.

My favorite aunt turns 92
On Tuesday of next week.
This year we cannot visit but,
Like every day, we’ll speak.

A cousin and a nephew also
Share the Leo sign,
As well as 2 close buddies,
Dear and precious friends of mine.

I’m not a fan of horoscopes
But still, I must admit,
These Leos, with my Aries,
Seem to be a perfect fit.

Regina Mcintosh August 6, 2020 at 8:29 PM I'm in love (deeply) with a Leo - but, like you, don't put much stock in horoscopes. I simply love and love simply - I wish you all your dreams coming true and many blessings too. God bless you always.

Jan Allison August 6, 2020 at 3:36 PM my father was a leo and today its my aunt;s birthday, hope your family members have great birthdays and hope the current restrictions dont stop them celebrating their special days:-) hugs jan xx

Carolyn Devonshire August 6, 2020 at 1:45 PM Had to laugh when you said your hubby will be 53 AGAIN. Jack Benny claimed to be 39 for decades :) It's hard keeping up with all the birthdays, isn't it? I don't know any Aries, but have many Taurus and Virgo dates to remember each year. Also a few Leos in the family. Souper Francine Roberts and I were born on the same day in July. Enjoyed your poem! Best wishes, Carolyn

Rico Leffanta August 6, 2020 at 1:37 PM I am Aries, but NEVER got along with my father who was born and died on 16 August (easy to recall as my late wife was an Elvis Presley fan). I do get along with granddaughter born 07.VIII.06, so time does make a difference! Wishing all you Leo loved ones an happy birthday with longevity! Aloha! Rico
