Twenty-one
Years Twenty-one years ago today Your dad rung me on the phone to say Karen, you’re an aunt! I was overjoyed and blown away! In Buffalo, that mighty town You were born on December 1 A light shone on our family Never, ever to be undone You were such a cute young kid With clear blue eyes and blonde, blonde hair Just like your mom so many said With your outgoing ways and special flare A cute nose just like your dad And “Bascom humor” you possessed Always followed by that silly giggle Infectious to all, so filled with zest Your love of sports and games Is legendary here Though being a Red Sox fan Always seemed to bring a tear Through it all you lived your life To it’s fullest every day With cherished friends and family You blessed along the way You always were so cheerful Your smile lit up our world The time we spent together Fun and laughs unfurled The memories we share of you Are all we have these days And they must carry us along Until again we meet your gaze Twenty-one years ago today Our lives were changed forever I cherish every moment of you And all the times we were together On this day which marks your birth We gather all together To celebrate the life you lived You’re in our hearts forever Happy Heavenly 21st Birthday Chris! Luv, aunt karen December 1, 2007 |
