Happy Birthday

Today is my birthday. Hard to believe... and I had no clue what I was going to post until last night. At first I thought it might have been the humorous conversation between Sticks and I... and then while Tink was making me some online scrapbook pages for my birthday... she sent me one. The poem off of that page was perfect... no it is not a birthday poem, but it just feels right... here is something special for my birthday:

    I saw a young mother with eyes full of laughter
    And two little shadows came following after.
    Wherever she moved, they were always right there-
    Holding onto her skirts, hanging onto her chair.
    Before her, behind her - adhesive pair.
    "Don't you ever get weary as, day after day,
    Your two little tag-alongs get in your way?"
    She smiled as she shook her pretty young head
    And I'll aways remember the words that she said:
    It's good to have shadows that run when you run,
    That laugh when you're happy and hum when you hum -
    For you only have shadows when your life's filled with sun.

I shall be busy this weekend... Hopefully I'll have fun stories to share.
