Now She’s Sixty-Four!




This day, but long ago on a Monday, 

was born to Hans & Dell in Brisbane town

a baby girl, who hadn’t much to say

except some crying. Third child, not a frown


from Mum & Dad, they knew the drill by then,

the crying was no problem, just the deal.

So soon she joined her fam-i-ly again 

(for she was there before, but not for meals).


And grew up, finished prim’ry school and more.

She went to Grammar for High School you know.

Then Rot-ar-ry exchange brought a new store

of chances, changes happened on the go.


For there, she says, she bowed her knee to who

was once anointed by creative love

itself to lead all humans so to choose

to live obeying word from up above,


instead of just their own desires or whims.

This magic might seem more than could be true,

but I have seen her choose to learn from him,

so i would vote with her, and also do


that shrink to little children learning love

within this power-centred world down here.

Though years have gone (full sixty four have shoved

their ways across her path), she’s staying near


to who she covenanted with - for life:

her God, her husband, children, grandies too.

Katrina you are more than just my wife,

my friend as well, and Dear Girl, I love you.


Paul.
