Girls Shopping Birthday Wish

I’d love to give you jewelry, from necklaces to rings
Bracelets, pins and pendants, sparkly kinds of things
I’d love to give you clothing from shirts and skirts and shoes
I’d love to take you shopping, so you can get whatever you choose

But your daddy told me not to, I pleaded with him hard
But he insisted he’d buy you those things, so I’m sending you this card.

** Please rate my poems - I'd love to hear your thoughts.**

every time that bobber goes out of control
we know you are happy with your fishing pole.

Now on birthdays it’s special out on the water
I hear if you’re there, they’ll jump for the slaughter
You’ll be piling them in like your lucks on a roll
Reeling them in with your fishing pole

Pack up a cooler with drinks and some snacks

She loved to talk to me

She was a complicated woman
Her anger could get mean
Her emails could get nasty
As mean as you've ever seen

She was a complicated woman
The best friend that she could be
Always there to listen
Always there for me
If you needed help you asked her
It didn't matter the task
