HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KRISTEN DEAR


Kristen was a baby fair
With bright blue eyes
(but not much hair)

She was fast
When she learned to crawl
But when she talked
It was a southern drawl

When she was cranky
Her socks “felt funny”
When she wrote stories
The day was always sunny

Ben was an older brother
Bryson, younger, was the other
Megan was the only sis
All of them she’d hug and kiss

Kristen has an artists’ heart
She paints and creates lots of art
Make up, hair and clothes are liked
She runs and has to ride her bike

She married her sweetheart Matt
For her he always goes to bat
2006, Calabasas in May
It will always be a special day

Now she’s 24 with a brand new career
She starts work soon and has no fear
Working for a doctor and going to school
No time for play but she’s still cool

Her goals are set, her plans are made
She’s on her way to get the grade
Who knows what next, what’s in store
The future is bright with blessings galore

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTEN!!!!!
LOVE MOM AND DAD

This is the best poem I have ever had written for me! Well in fact it's the only poem about me for that matter, but if even if there had been a million this one would outshine them all! Thanks mom! It's the best birthday present ever! Thanks for the scrubbies too and the scrumtrilescent birthday cake in Oregon!!!!

Matt just read it and he liked it a lot! He said he didn't know you were such a poet!

Kristen is right. This is a sweet poem and very well put. It almost made me cry. It made me think about your visit to Spokane for Thanksgiving. Kristen and I wrote songs in my room. I think she wrote about a 'Sky Boy.' Maybe it was Matt!
