It's the month of may and I had to pull myself away from work to make time for this blog
Just goes to show that I haven't forgotten your birthdays Silverlaine and CharlieIceQueen will be celebrating their Sweet Sixteens in a few days and because Sixteen is a very special age, here's something dedicated to both of you
I wrote this poem years ago and it has been lying in my notebook waiting for the right time, and I think that now is just as good a time.
I hope that you will have a most memorable and lovely birthday and really, if you don't care for lace gowns and pearl necklaces, i will understand....
My affection, love, and hugs to you both^_^
SWEET SIXTEEN
The clock is almost seven
and here i am not ready even
My hair is still up in curls
and I seem to have lost my pearls
My stockings are halfway up
and my shoes nowhere about
I don't have time to waste
I will be late if I don't make haste
The gown of finest needlepoint lace
that I must remember to wear with a regal grace
My curls and pearls are now in place
trembling fingers touch the shimmering necklace
Sparkling eyes and an enchanting smile
pink-flushed cheeks in a little while
I look in the mirror and preen
it's not everyday that I turn sweet sixteen!
