While I was looking through the statistics of my blog, I
noticed that I wrote my first blog just a year ago. I remember wondering what I could possibly
write about and a year later I still have something to say. I have not posted anything in quite a while
due to the difficulties of losing my husband, but I thought it was probably
time to do so again.
My daughter Susan�s birthday was Sunday. A few years back, I wrote a poem for her
birthday. As you read this poem, you
will be able to see how special she is.
I can hardly
believe your birthday is here
Where did the
time go, year after year?
You came to us on
a Sunday morn
When the church
bells were ringing, an angel was born
Curly black hair
and a pugged up nose
Two sweet little
lips as pink as a rose
We named you
Susan, a name I love so
For my dolls that
I played with a long while ago
A tiny new sister
for Cathy that day
She thought you
her doll for her to play
You grew into a
sweet little girl
With big brown
eyes and hair that would curl
You were
painfully bashful, as shy as can be
Who spent a lot
of her time behind her daddy�s knee
You sucked your
thumb and held on to your dypie
Security for you,
I guess that most likely
Soon a little
brother came your way
Another little
one for you to play
Very obedient, a
mom�s dream come true
There was very
little wrong you ever did do
A good little
girl and a teenager too
Never any trouble
we got from you
You played
musical instruments and fixed your hair
Then off to
beautician school for you to prepare
A career ahead
waiting for you
To cut and comb
and style hair too
Shortly later you
said, �I do�
To have your own
home and family too
A few years
passed and you were blessed with a daughter
Hard to believe,
you were now a mother
You worked very
hard to make a good home
Cooking and
cleaning, not far you did roam
After a while,
nine years had passed
When along came
another, two girls at last
You spent lots of
time with both of them
Your first
thought always from beginning to end
You�ve had your
ups and some downs too
But you�ve always
managed to pull right through
Your father and I
are very proud of you
In all you�ve
accomplished and in all that you do
Now it�s your
birthday, what more can we say
But we hope
you�ll be happy for the rest of your days
But remember this
one thing I want you to know
However how old
and wherever you go
No matter how
many birthdays there happens to be
You�re still our
little girl to your father and me
Happy Birthday
Susan
