Ode to Steve

In just a few days, we will celebrate Steve’s birthday…and today, I want to take a minute to celebrate Steve’s 39 years, with this poetry salute. Here goes…

An ode to Steven

my favorite guy

On your 39th Birthday

Doesn’t the time fly?

We met in college

I was in apartment 6G

And three doors down

was a cute guy in 6C

We started as friends

Because you were off limits

But after one “date”

I knew in a minute…

I had to learn more

about this crazy, fun guy

Who knew in a few years,

the knot we would tie?

But married we are

and happily so

our home filled with laughter

Our love, it just shows.

You always make me smile

You’re spontaneous and cute

You’re hardworking and handsome,

You’re smart and astute.

You dance like a champ

and you’re good with a saw.

You iron and cook

You really do it all.

And to our little girls

You’re the epitome of grace

you hug and kiss boo boos

and wipe snot from their face.

And for their birthdays

you decorate their cakes

You wrap all their presents

however long it takes

You’re nurturing and kind

You’re wise for your years

You read stories and sing songs,

You wipe away tears.

So on this special day,

It’s you that we celebrate.

Happy Birthday, Babe

Love, Holly, Ellie, and Kate

Happy Birthday, Steve. We love you so much and are so happy to have you in our lives. I look forward to sharing the next 39 years with you!
