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 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 [This message has been edited by Titia Geertman (08-03-2003 09:00 AM).] |

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! |

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?

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 ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

"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!!! A Romantic Heart [This message has been edited by A Romantic Heart (08-10-2003 05:04 AM).] |

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 |
