Now the bright morning star, day's harbinger,
Comes dancing from the east, and leads with her
The flow'ry May, who from her green lap throws
The yellow cowslip, and the pale primrose.
Hail bounteous May, that dost inspire
Mirth and youth and warm desire,
Woods and groves are of thy dressing,
Hill and dale doth boast thy blessing.
Thus we salute thee with our early song,
And welcome thee, and wish thee long.
John Milton
"Song: On May Morning"
Happy 91st birthday to my beloved's mother, Valena Mae Walker, who raised two fine sons and two lovely daughters in southern Illinois. I'm more than just a little fond of her "baby boy." We celebrate your many years of love, service, and devotion to your family and community, Valena. In Milton's words, we "salute thee" and "wish thee long."
Happy Birthday!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Valena Mae Walker! I'm off to Devon this weekend for my grandmother-in-law's 98th. Nice to bring family together.
ReplyDeleteI like your walk-2-write moniker as I do some of my best writing while walking. When I get home, I type it up. Eventually it becomes a novel.
Aren't you lucky to be by the sea. I miss it. Cute grandchild too.
Thanks, let's plant and Sarah, for visiting my spot and wishing Valena a happy birthday. I will be sure to let her know that you did.
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy, thanks for stopping by. Best wishes and happy birthday to your dad!
