For Suzy... part deux

It's been a whole year
since we got to say
What Suzy means to us
on her special day

We've all grown a little
and become much closer
Far flung friends
and nary a poser

Through good times and bad
we have all been there
To support each other
To genuinely care

It doesn't seem long
since that last party
The tears have been plenty
and the laughs have been hearty

And now that she reaches
a milestone in life
we remember the happiness
and forget all the strife

At this big moment
the calendar turns fifty
But she looks much younger
still fit and quite nifty

She spreads her spirit
of affection and love
amongst all her friends
with a grace of a dove

She's never been shy
of sharing her feelings
with all of us
and all of our dealings

We value her ideas
and all of her thoughts
We ask for her opinions
which cannot be bought

She brings us great joy
and makes us all smile
We revel in her presence
and lose worries for a while

From feeding the ferals
to the peace of her flowers
Suzy is in our hearts
with her soothing powers

Most of us
can't live without her
and her daily comments
throughout the world of blogger

So on her big day
her friends raise a toast
To the original Blottie
the woman with the most

You mean so much
to your close dear friend
who hopes this grand party
will never end

Suze, Suzy, Suzanne
and The Wedding Planner
just bob marks the occasion
with a special banner

In pink and purple
her favorite hues
just bob sends out
this Happy Birthday to you!

You know I'm crying. It's my birthday and I'm up because I slept earlier. I fell asleep with the kittens on the bed, on my tummy. I have the worst backache in the world!!! What the hell's up with that!!!? No, I don't sleep on my stomach. Now I know why!!! Dear Lord, I can barely move!!!

Bob, I love you so very, very much. All of you. You enrich my life and I'm grateful. When I'm low I can always depend on you. When I'm high, everyone just sorta scatters! Why!? I'm not that bad. Right? No really. (Freakin' ninnies.) Okay, this is my new rule. I'm going to be different at 50. I'm going to try harder. God, I'm already exhausted.

Bob, I love you to bits. You know that. Thank you so much my darling friend.. And you speak French. That's even better!!!

With so much love,
The Birthday Girl

P.S. The WV is in German: grieswa. What?

Suzanne said...

That might be Japanese.

P.S. And this WV is probably Polish: Polyin.

tugs on Suzy's ponytail and runs off giggling like a schoolboy

Suzanne said...

Cinnamon,

Thank you darling. You know it's funny how when you turn 50 you don't feel 50. You still feel like you're 20, but I'll take 30!!!

XO

Suzanne said...

Thanks Mark. Love you. And yes, it does, doesn't it? I've reread it a number of times and it's really me!

XO to all

Suzanne said...

Karen,

Thanks darling. I will and I am. It's a pretty terrific day.

XO

Suzanne said...

Bindi,

Thanks darling. And thanks too for the phone call. I'm sorry I couldn't chat, but you know talking on the phone in the car is illegal and I have really had enough with CHIPS lights all over Black Beauty. Why can't they leave her alone?!!! But I understand because look at her, she's such a CHIPS magnet.

Darling hearing your voice and kind words made me smile all the way home. Thank you so much for the call.

I love you very much,
Moi XOs to all

Suzanne said...

Thanks Bob! I needed that because apparently my ponytail wasn't properly aligned. Now it looks perfect for my big reveal. I really have been watching too much "Clean House!"
