My Mommy Muys (wellknown in blue pages here) will be ninety two years old on August 24. As I requested in Announcements, I would like to surprise her with some poetic birthday wishes from her Passion friends and Nan has promised to put them all on a webpage (thanks sweetie, I'll bring you my whole appletree )
Below is mine and if you want to join in, please put your lines in this thread, so Nan can find them easily. My Mom will be moved to tears, I know that for sure. So please, come join me Passion Poets. To give Nan enough time to put the webpage together, don't wait too long, for I'll take my Mom on a weekend tour starting August 22!


It's time

It's time to let you know I love you Mom
To thank you for the things you've ever done
Because it is so easy to forget
And it's too late in time when you are gone

I thank you for the effort raising me
Three years you had to do it all alone
And though we had our fights from time to time
I'm satisfied into whom I have grown

I thank you for your humor and good laughs
For creativity in diff'rent ways
I thank you for the mother you have been
When I was sick or sad in all past days

So let's switch sides, when you are ninety two
Let me take care of old sweet lovely you



Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

When our Mummy Muys came here to the blue
We welcomed her, our own Titia’s mother
We took up her poetry, it is true
Linking our arms as sisters and brothers

Now we know from where Titia’s wisdom comes
Through her own Mum’s wonderful poetry
A woman who has voice to sing and hum
As our birthday wishes fill her with glee

Happy Birthday, Mummy Muys!

This one is from Marsha.

Happy Birthday Muys

Guess what? It’s a very special day
It’s Muys, Titia mum’s birthday
Titia said you were ninety-two
Well, I don’t believe that’s true  
Muys, you look younger by far
And so I think perhaps you are
Ninety-two? Surely you jest
But anyway I give you my best

Muys have a great birthday do
Even if it’s not really Ninety-two
Come tell me the truth you’re seventy
Although you look much younger to me
But whatever your age Muys dear
Have a great birthday do you hear?
Enjoy the day, may it shine bright
And may you dance far into night

Happy Birthday Muys whatever your age
See joyous wishes all across this page

Marsha

Darling sister from England, thank you so much and I will write to you soon.

This one is from SharaRose. Thank you for your lovely verse.



Hello there Miss Muys, Titia's mum.
Lovely you are of Ninety-two years.
Wisdom I am sure has come,
From love, sweat, and tears.

Grace must be yours...
Time seems to make us that way.
Times loved, and times endured,
Bringing to you poetic words to say.

Hands that reach out year after year
Caring for others, time well spent
Becoming to others so dear
Now we are at your birthday event.

I have read work by your daughter child,
And enriched from it I have been.
She writes in deepest heart style,
Seems she has a heart for animals so keen.

Loving embraces you have given
to all over the years gone by
May they enliven your hours
May your days be filled
with wonder for your eyes.


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
!!!HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
God Bless you Miss Muys. I know I don't know you
But I admire your will, and your years!

Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

Darling~
This one is from me and Delaney~

Little Old Lady~
~*Marge Tindal*~

I have heard a story
that your birthday has come 'round
So here I sit in poetic smile
as these keys I pound~

Not easy reaching a ripe old age
I'm sure that's no news to you
Cause you've done it quite in style
as a lady is wont to do~

Who'd have ever thought
you'd reach this day in your life
When you'd have to hire someone else
to blow out the blazing candles ...
that celebrate your life~

So little old lady of ninety-two
I'm wishing you a breathlessly happy day
Praying that you've many more
candled years to celebrate~


*Muys, darling ... Happy Birthday*
Love you, ~*Marge and Delaney*~
August 2003

Hope your day is filled with love and laughter, to bring a beaming smile to your face.


Hope that you are very happy, that your special day, will bring to you love and style and grace.


Sweet scented flowers, cards and cake, will be braught only to you.

"God's Angel"

When God created a mother,
He sent an angel from above,
Filled with sweetness, unconditional love,

An angel with a heart so sweet,
Without her love, Your life is incomplete,

An angel with kindness and caring,
Showing us the many ways of sharing,

An angel to wipe away all your tears,
An angel to hold me, to calm my fears,

Someone who loves me, no matter what,
When God gave me a mother.....

An ANGEL is what I got!

You are an angel from heaven!
Happy Birthday!!!!!
   God Bless!!!

Mummy Muys she had a daughter
and didn't do the things she oughta
she taught her daughter; taught her well
to poet speak with tales to tell
in her life her talent shone
in poetry her Muys lives on
The daughter's talent shared by half
for Mummy Muys can make you laugh
and as her special day rolls round
we know that loving can be found
in every word that written here
in other words Happy Birthday dear.
Keth

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
