JESSICA HAS A WORD TO SAY TO OMA

OMA

Throughout your life of 80 years

you have received many cheers,

and although you may have shed some tears,

you have managed to conquer your fears.

Life’s like a roller coaster, as I'm sure you know,

there’s ups and downs, some fast some slow,

We’ve all had moments where you feel you can touch the sky

and others where you think you might die.

I can’t imagine what you’ve been through

not quite World War One but World War Two,

yet you came out so brave and strong,

you can still dance and sing in song.

You fell for the love of your life

and soon became his beautiful wife

You had four beautiful children Carl, Ellen, Brenda and Bruce.

At certain times I'm sure you were ready to surrender

However with the loss of Bruce you formed a truce.

Whom which we will always remember.

Never the less you pulled through

Strong hearted and good willed too.

With all those kids came squabbles and fights

Some even happened late at night.

However you were still able to have fun

And along the way managed to raise three great little ones.

If it weren’t for you there’d be no me

and my mom would never be.

You taught her well throughout the years

Even if you held back tears.

I know that she has made you proud

especially now since her head’s out of the clouds.

Within your life you’ve witnessed so much

From black and white television to the iPod touch.

you witnessed man walking on the moon,

which at the time may have seemed too soon.

All sorts of things have come and gone,

but still your inner youth lives on.

You always knew just what to do

if i was hurt you’d kiss my booboo

You would play outside with me

which always filled me with glee

You and Opa got me my first bike,

Which at first i didn’t like

Then as you taught me to ride better,

I soon felt like a real go getter.

And when you tucked me in at night

you’d make sure i was wrapped up tight,

then you’d tell me a bedtime story

it was never anything gory.

I always felt safe at your place

knowing we were within the same space.

Thinking back on our times together you have always made me feel

better.

whether we were doing arts and crafts or playing cards together.

Through out my life of 23 years you have been there to wipe my tears,

and in those past years and days, you have helped chase my fears away,

when i was troubled, sad and down you’d always help me turn my

frown.

I know life can be quiet a ride,

and though i have not always been by your side,

i’ve been lucky enough to have you so close by.

Happy 80th Birthday Oma!

Love you lots
