Twenty Six Years

1980
was a very good year
It was time
To stand up and cheer
That it was great
Is very clear

For in that year
1980 in October
While not
Completely sober
To the hospital
No time for Kroger

She scurried
With a friend
For some time
To spend
And then to
Actually expend

A beautiful girl
Just a wee one at first
With so much love
They thought she would burst
Not much crying
But loved to be nursed

A baby was born
A blessing to all
A herald of peace
To love was her call
All important
Large or small

Twenty-six years
Since that day
Millions of words
All to say
Celebrate the wonder
In every way.

Born a babe.
Grown to a woman.
Soon a mother.
Always a daughter.
And always a blessing.

Happy Birthday Kelly
