Her 6th Birthday

Oh!, Lexy!, Lexy!, your wiles! :

"Woman" already in you lies!

      (So quickly she smiles,

       so quickly she cries!

       Knowledgable already

       in "The Craft"--I fear--

       and of the spells, so heady,

       cast by ONE sugary, salty tear!

       Tiny, glistening orblets, and pure;

       like the purest Angel, which you are!)

I am of THIS very sure:

you could tease warmth from a distant star!



Her tear-drops are NOT like dew;

they are much more like "DO!"

Teddy,
I swear that you have posted this before. Lexy was 6 almost a year ago because I remember reading about it on my son's birthday May, 30. Please tell me I'm not going nuts here. Did you have this jotted down somewhere and put it on from notes? Check by other titles and see if it's on your site. Goodness, it really hurts to be senile. lol I feel like I'm loosing it.

And yet, Lexy seems to have you wrapped around her pretty little pink finger already. Can't help but love her anyway. Right?
Sweet little poem, from a knowledgeable and forgiving Teddy.
