Birthday Greetings

A Toast
To a silver haired
grand-mother, she's really a queen,
That to be loved, needs
but to be seen.
Her vision is not as good
as it used to be,
But anything I try to
hide, she surely will see.
She reads a lot and
listens to the media each day,
But she believes very
little of what they say.
Todays youths don't talk
or act as we used to do,
But you're an old
fudy-dudy if you don't change too.
All the preachers on
radio, for donations they whine,
But truth and guidance
comes only from the bible, divine.
Her feet give her trouble,
to run or walk they're not fit,
But she won't stay off
them, she just will not quit.
For her will to keep
going, I surely must boast,
So to my dear wife
Elizabeth, I offer this toast.
