A traveler in time...
and a dabbler in rhyme
encountered one another
on the shore.
When the dabbler, in awe,
touched the traveler he saw...
he was, helplessly, in love
forevermore..
Said the tinkerer in lore
to the child he did adore,
“you're the sweet and lovely
apple of my eye."
and a dabbler in rhyme
encountered one another
on an Isle.
When the dabbler, in awe,
touched the traveler he saw,
he fell, helplessly, in love
forevermore..
And this tale was meant to be
for the little one, you see,
was the sweet and lovely
apple of his eye.
Um…...IS the sweet and lovely
apple of his eye.
Happy birthday, Angel…. (aaaaaand the card came true)
This requires some explanation. My daughter, Angela, was born on the island of Guam while I was stationed there with the US Navy. Guam is on the east side of the international date. Angie was born Jul 3rd......but it was still July 2nd in the US....... since she celebrates it (from her home in iowa) on Jul 3rd......I tease her that her birthday has actually already passed...since it's July 4th at the place of her birth.... so she is theTime traveler...get it??? Well, I guess you had to be there. I, of course, am the dabbler in mediocre Rhyme. Oh....and in her birthday card I promised her a poem.
