Rebecca Poem by Hazel Durham

Rebecca

Rating: 5.0


You spent your first few months, in the royal county of Meath,
A landscape so bountiful, of green pastures, majestic castles and leafy trees,
Born beautiful with deep brown eyes, like creamy milk chocolate spun so fine,
You glow like a moonlit night, with stars shining so bright,
No dark shadows, just Irish charm tied in shimmering satin bows,
Allurement with such delightful grace,
Like rare vintage lace,
Quality and class never dates.



Your granny, grandad and I made a cocoon for you,
Perfect child, thoughtful, kind, always something special in you, to find,
Grown up now, you live life at full throttle,
Travel a specialty, that you take on with such ease,
Standing out with your iconic style,
Always wanting to go that extra mile,
With your charming, honey touched smile,
No time to sigh, never thirsty for love's sweet melody.



Life has not been all kind to you,
But you have mastered the fight for survival,
You have stood tall, when mere mortals would fall,
Determined, with amazing zest for life, a better fulfilled nest,
Plenty of hard work, you deserve the very, very best,
Life will offer you plenty of endless sun drenched days,
When you will achieve your goals, with such an enduring soul,
Love's treasures will adorn those special moments,
I send my pure love in this simple poem.
