Birthday Girl

She's the one who when I say
"I need to wash some cups today,"
will fast respond, "I'm on my way!" -
My friend Norma.

She's the one who when she's shopping
Keeps an eye out for table toppings
in colours that can be show-stopping -
My friend Norma.

She's the one on Saturday night
who peels potatoes with all her might
then cleans till I turn out the light -
My friend Norma.


She's the one, it's very clear,
her grandkids hold especially dear
It gives her joy to have them near -
My friend Norma.

She's the one who, when I'm beat
says, "Come for lunch - there's lots to eat!"
and cooks me up some special treat -
My friend Norma.

She's the one whom Don adores:
He waltzes her across the floor
and hopes that time will give them more -
My friend Norma.

She's the one for whom I pray
that God will show Himself today
and bless her on her special day -
My friend Norma.

    You are beloved by many who call you friend, and this other adopted daughter holds you very near to her heart too, especially today. Hope your day is wonderful! Have a really nice cuppa tea to celebrate.

    Lots of love,
