Baby's Thirty Today!!

(June 22, 2001)

Baby Daphne is thirty today.

To which I say "No way"/

It's not fair! She can't be that old.

Sneaking up on me like that is just too COLD!

Daphne has never quite grown up,

Or for that matter has never shut up.

Once she started talking, she's never quit.

She yaks and yaks quite a bit.

She's bouncy and a regular BLONDE,

But in spite of that, of her I am quite FOND.

A soloist for Church, she has a great voice.

Listening to her is a really good choice.

To be a Missionary is her greatest wish

For souls she hopes to fish.

she is of partial Irish descent,

So to Ireland she would love to be sent.

I know this poem is shorter than she would like,

But then she can always take a hike.

She can go on her favorite Parnell Tower Loop,

I don't give a hoot!

May this day bring you all you deserve,

And because it is the Lord I know you serve,

Your rewards will be many,

In this life or the next they will be plenty.

My poems are sappy,

But you asked for it, so I hope you are HAPPY!

Take care Baby Girl

I know you will be good and not hurl,

Love,

Mom
