A Golden Birthday Girl

A Golden Birthday Girl

Here’s a tribute to a special girl, who will celebrate her golden birthday this year … entering her teen years. Love to Lizzy-Lu – a horse-lover, friend to animals and can-do girl!

Lizzy-Lu

A Limericked Piece on a Growing-Up Niece

Until she came, I never knew

Another one like Lizzy-Lu.

This sprite refined,

One of a kind,

Is all her own, full through and through.

She tackles challenge like an ace,

While setting out a daunting pace.

Both fur and fins

Bring Lizzy grins

That set a smile on any face.

In pool or school, she makes her splash,

While secreting her candy stash.

With home of boys

And all that noise,

She faces life with her panache.

Transforming into grown-up girl,

Dear towhead tomboy with a twirl –

Take this descant

From loving aunt,

And greet what future may unfurl.

“Since my youth, O God, You have taught me,
 and to this day I declare Your marvelous deeds.”

(Psalm 71:17, NIV)
