Happy Birthday Poppy

[Granny5]

I tried to write a poem but couldn't come up with anything. But Cdnreader
had this posted this morning and I think it says just want I want to say.

When We Are Old

When we are old,
we will walk in the garden,
amongst the climbing roses with petals reaching.
Together we will sow seeds in narrow furrows,
carefully nurturing the delicate sprouts,
and scatter wildflowers
everywhere.

When we are old,
we will walk by the stream,
your arm around my waist,
my head tilted to your shoulder.
Together we will splash barefoot through the shallows,
then, laughing, collapse onto the porch swing,
and, enveloped in the beauty of stillness,
let the sun's warmth dry us
in silence.

When we are old,
so too will the world slow.
Together we will relinquish this space
and be lifted away upon the north wind,
hand in hand.

And in our next life
I shall love you again.

On behalf of your many splashing friends and me too....

There was a handsome trout a swimmin' in the river,
He saw those old familiar waders and he began to quiver,
But then he looked up, out the wet, and Poppy's face he saw,
Not to worry anymore, he's why I am a liver.

Happy Birthday Poppy!

No, I didn't mean it as a joke at all. I thought he almost always practiced catch and release. I was hoping the poem would come off as admiration. Sorry Poppy. That's how I meant it. :)

[Granny5]

Well, he "says" he pratices catch and release. I've yet to see the catch part myself. (he's really a good fisherman. I'm just teasing.)

Oh, I get it now. hehehe
That's kind of like when my husband used to go hunting and would get out in the woods very very early. My sons caught him snoring under a tree on several occasions! :lol:

[Granny5]

haha...I've always wondered why they have to go so early.

Poppy’s Birthday

For a man who has walked with Presidents
You know the love of the simple life—
You’ve found a new home among us residents,
And brought along your family and your wife.
Your poems sing of home and friends and nature,
Fishing on your favorite little stream;
Mowing hay out in the Ozark pastures,
Living out your latest pleasant lazy dream.
I will not guess about the number of the years,
That the candles on your cake will mark today.
You had times of laughter; times of tears—
And I’m sure you always did things in your own way.
Oh, Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling:
Happy Birthday, glad I met you! (Catch the cake! It's falling!)
