To: Isabelle
From: Grandpa, Grandma & Uncle Steven
Today is the 28th of May,
It is your birthday today.
We knew it quite well,
That it's the birthday of Isabelle.
We knew that today you're 4,
For that we thank our mighty Lord.
But alas we live in a small town,
That is a long ways down.
I wrote this poem all by myself,
'Tis true, I wrote it without any help.
I did this for a smiling girl,
With lots and lots of lovely curls.
The picture attached is one of Isabelle,
She is smiling. Can you tell?
I did this on the day you're 4,
So that you could smile some more.
Don't have too much ice cream. Don't have too much cake,
Because too much of those will give you a bellyache!
Didn't wish on the phone, didn't send you a card,
But for this I worked very hard!
Well last but not least, I hope you're not glum,
Because I want to wish you the Lord's blessings and many more years to come.
--Uncle Steven
