Happy Birthday Mitchell
Mitchell
the Magnificent
By
Grandma Baadsgaard
I
love you Mitchie Moe
Today
Mitchell is eleven
That
is way more than seven
Or
eight, nine or even ten
Or
any other age he’s been
Mitchell
is growing up you see
Into
the man he is going to be
He
is a fine specimen to the core
And
discovering his wings to soar
Mitchell
is a history buff you see
Who
studies how we used to be
Point
to the globe and an ancient time
He
knows their tales and their clime
He
is a craftsman with his pen
Writes
plays about where we’ been
He
is a sage of the ancient stories
Even
if they are a little gory
He
makes music with passion and vibe
Wants
the world to know he is alive
For
he knows a song is also a story
With tales of battles in all their glory
If
he were alive in distant times
He
would be a warrior sublime
With
courage and strength to spare
Fight
with him only if you dare
Give
him a sword and a shield
Then
sit back and watch him build
A
life that is worthy of honor and respect
From
all the people he has met
For
Mitchell will make his place in history
For
the entire world is bound to see
That
he is the hero of a life well spent
Because Mitchell is
really is magnificent

Happy Birthday Matthew
MATTHEW
AT SIXTEEN
By
Grandma Baadsgaard
I
love you Matthew
A license to drive
Will help you survive
If you have to go
Somewhere . . . so
Get your 40 hours in
With your nearest kin
Then take the test
And do your best
Then leave with a smile
And drive a few miles
While mom grabs the armrest
And dad does his level best
Not to think about the cost
Insurance money
that is lost
When a sixteen year old
Takes the wheel so bold
And smiles through his teeth
Mom and dad feel no relief
For it is a jungle out there
Join in the race if you dare
Even if you know the rules
You learn there are a few fools
Who insist on driving so fast
You’re sure you won’t last
Then you remember you are no pro
You better slow down so
At least you can stop in time
To keep your head from turning to slime
Mom drops to her knees as you drive away
And prays you will return home some day
