Birthdays in July
One is sixteen.
Sixty-one is another.
One is my daughter.
My husband's the other.

Ramona was, Atticus always says, his 45th birthday present.
Happy birthday to my old man and my youngest daughter!

The Poetry Friday round-up is at Reading to the Core.
I love it - short and to the point. I also love that you'll be able to save on candles :)
ReplyDeleteWishing both the happiest of birthdays! How very cool that this year brings that combination of numbers. :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your poem! You know how a Golden Birthday is one where you turn the age of your birth date? It's too bad there isn't a term for being the backwards age of the family member born on the same day as you. Maybe a Chocolate Birthday?
ReplyDeleteLaughed at Sally's comment about saving on candles!
What a wonderful day! Happy birthday to both!
ReplyDeleteHooray! I love it when one can celebrate in rhyme.
ReplyDeleteCute poem. It reminds of the time my mom was 32, I was 16, and my brother was 8. I thought it was so funny. LOL
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your loves and the candles are much fun to see! It's a 'just-right" poem, Karen!
ReplyDeleteVery clever, Karen! Happy Birthday to everyone!
ReplyDeleteWhat a magical year! Happy birthday to the both of them!
ReplyDeleteI love the candle swap! Happy birthday to all! My son turned 23 this week!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthdays!
ReplyDeleteHappy (belated) Birthday! Somehow I think those two lines below the copyright are part of the poem. : )
