The Bull is both sad and happy today.
My first born daughter has a birthday today and is turning twenty-one years old. Where does time go, Dear Readers? Just yesterday it seems I held her in one hand, and today she is a student in one the best Nursing programs in the Country, (paying her own way), and planning her future out in the world.
Oh! I’m getting OLD!
Let me tell you a little about Clancy.
She’s a beautiful young woman. She was blessed with a singing voice few can equal, artistic abilities all envy, and has recently found a true talent for poetry. All of this along with an outstanding record as a student from her first day in Kindergarten up to this very day. Then there is a work ethic that keeps her working at a job that would have had The Bull ready to stomp a mud hole in someone and then charge out the door. She is there, on time, everyday – and often there on her scheduled days off as well.
Right when you think there are no more hours in her day, Clancy always makes time for her younger siblings and her friends and family. Seems that her talents are only surpassed by her heart. By the Gods, she is a daughter to make any father proud!
And I am very proud of my Eldest Daughter.
So proud in fact that I, The Bull, will give to my daughter the following poem, (since she has become such an accomplished and recognized poet), for her birthday…
Roses are Red,
Violets are blue,
One more year,
an’ you’ll be Twenty-Two!
Well, it appears that the poetry gene did not fall from my side of the Family…
At any rate, all my Love and many wishes for a Grand and Happy 21st Birthday to my beloved Daughter, Clancy.
Bull, out.
