Listen to me
This month, 93 years I will be
Hardly believe that
Still going strong in my head
The fire is burning
Life is good and life is fine
Those 93 years will be mine
No grieving will I leave behind
Only laughter at my grave you'll find
Saying: "Muys was a happy gal"
I've carried my burdens quite well
Not complaining but bearing before you die
And never asking for the why

Muys


Life on the internet begins at...90!
And it's lasting 3 years already!

On Thuesday August 24
I'll be banging on your door
With a bouquet of flowers red
And you'll rise hasty from your bed
I'll kiss both cheeks and hug you tight
You whisper 'I slept good last night'
Then I'll take you out by car
We'll roam the country, not too far
You'll love to that I know dear Mom
At end of day you will say 'Come
Let's take a bite in this diner here'
You will drink wine and I some beer
We'll toast to all years in your life
Being Mother, Friend and Wife
We'll know that Daddy smiles above
Your bestest friend and greatest love
Remembering stories from the past
Laughing our heads off in a blast
Because your humor will never end
And I'll know that's the way it's meant
In your life was grieve and sorrow
You always headed for tomorrow
Positive thinking was your goal
Going to church, food for your soul
Yes, I will be banging on your door
I hope for many years to come and more

Titia

As Billy Crystal used to say,
"You look marvelous."
(Said many a time on the tv show, "Saturday Night Live")
And ...
That attitude of yours will keep you going a very long time yet dear Muys.

Lots of Knuffles to you this month and also ...

~* A Very Happy Birthday *~

Mommy Muys says:

Like a waterfall
your words are flowing
covering me with love
Love returned in equal drops
with blessings from above
For Titia and for all my friends
of Passion pages blue
Hoping that the same old age
will come upon each one of you

Muys

Mamma Muys,
How wonderful! You inspire me immensely. And I know why you behave with such a young spirit. God wired our brains for eternity so you have only begun. God bless you dear mamma.

&


If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
