The Rickeyird's 40th Cinco de Mayo!

[GaleriaGila]

Greetings, PF friends, acquaintances, and countrymen, lend me your ears...
With the Moderators' indulgence, think I'll also post this in the Rickeybird Scrapbook, too

It's Cinco de Mayo, yes, AND, coincidentally, the Rickeybird's 40th birthday!!

Thank you, one and all, for the support, information and patient listening over the years. You have truly helped me navigate, evaluate and tolerate all kinds of issues and emotions relating to my very special roommate.
This is a special, special place.

This is a poem the Rb and I wrote ages ago. It's a tribute to... you.

"Roses are red. Violets are... " Nope.
Not gonna try to be clever.
I want to tell how I feel about you
Yesterday, now, and forever.

I'll never claim that I know sacred things.
No Holy Grail to discuss.
But in my heart shines a flickering beacon
Somehow it led me to Us.

Beckoning candle... bright sanctuary.
Your doors are open so wide.
Big as a starburst and small as an ember.
Our mission glows, deep inside.

E=mc2, Black Holes, Big Bang.
Plenty of mysteries, plus...
Magic, Eternal, our Family aerie.
Our cyber lighthouse, our "Us".

BirdsOfAFeatherForever,
Me'n'theRb

Dang, Wrenchie, as ever, you're a wizard of words.
For some reason, I'm imagining your proposal to Mrs. Wrench. It must have been a marital manifesto... resulting in your daughter and her 40th, just like the Rb.
Don't they grow up fast?

Oh you know I can't resist an offer like that, nor the madly impassioned look in that handsome rooster's eye!!! MrLK and Gail will be just fine, they can run off and elope together now

Cue the wedding music, I'll be right there!!!
