(Re-posted as a tradition for a wonderful friend in all our hearts, who spreads flowers to everyone's heart and sunshine everyday! God Bless You Martie, and Happy Birthday!)

     

Our Flower Girl
By: Noah Eaton
9/22/02

     

To search for the rainbows end
To suckle another iced tea conception with lemon
Can be felt just through the girl-scout grin of a flower delivery girl
In the inevitable march of time down the yellow brick heavens

They say "like a gardener, you believe what goes down must come up."
And "every time history repeats itself, the price goes up."
That's why God made girls to spread flowers to everyone in easter bunny baskets
So history can tide with blessings in small packages of love

Love is timeless happenstance but her heart is filled with marrow
As easy as a gown dropped it can float and rise once more
Like the spring that follows winter, where waits clarity
Between the tea and scones she is the chamomile that heals every throat sore

     

She teaches us that each years measure is worth much treasure
So I sing this ode to the artist of the meadow mural
Encase your soul evermore in livings smile
And may it be you like the warm Bahamian breeze in soprano

Always know your girl Michelle will always love you
She will always be the morning that gathers in your curtain
The zephyr hug under the mimosa tree
She will always be here for you, for a mother and daughter's love is endless

For you are our flower girl, the gardener of poetic purity
With a heart of honeyed clover and smile that's even summer in winter
We all share that Virgo in our souls with you
Following you into your special place where loves meaning gathers...


     



I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sun set and I perceive

***Live***

Noah, you certainly got some of Martie's fine qualities spotlighted in your poem.  She is just a special being that is for sure, as are you in all the thoughtful things you do.  Here's to you both!

You have shed the cloak of lady fair
Now what shall she wear? A delightful write.

Awwww, this is so sweet, Noah. I know that Martie loves
these birthday poems for her. No-one is more deserving.
She spreads happiness and love all over these
blue pages, just as you do, sweet Noah.

Martie, I'm sorry I wasn't here much yesterday
for your birthday. I hope that you had a very wonderful
and Happy Birthday, sweet lady.  
Heart hugs to you and Noah
