Hair of childhood blond, turning to auburn tresses Ready to question but of own mind addresses Hiding what you knew, deep inside Childhood friends walked beside No one could see them, only you Certainly not teachers at your school A princess you were, Huck Finn too, The many times you wore actress shoes All the times you played the game When always you knew you were not the same You listened to a different drummers tune Until you followed it all so soon Sickness took many a thing But in reality, you only did gain You chased the will-o-wisp in your seek Til finally, a mission you did keep Thirty three years in our hearts Always to stay until final part Even then, “giving you a wink” Still being around, if only in ink Knowing the beliefs we always shared Very apparent we always cared This day is yours, even being apart You always were a dear sweetheart So happy birthday to you, dear love You ever did, come push or shove Always so proud of you, we be Even at times that you did not see If you continue to do as you have done You will have earned a place within the sun. Happy Birthday, Becka , from the heart |

For some reason this really brings tears to me. Beautiful. Sad to me, though. Sandra |

Thank all of you wonderful people for sharing this birthday with me. My children are all very special to me and your kind thoughts and all your wishes will stay with me in that special place I keep dear. Ahh, this time, I, gentle smile, don't have the words to thank you adequately, so I will just say Thank You with hugs and love |
