Jen & Eric,

Thanks for the card & flowers for Deb's birthday. They were great and we had a blast a Jazz Fest. The weather was great the bands awesome. Ted & Pam made it down in time for the last set and the fireworks. I'll have to post the poem I wrote for her. It was good way to wrap up the evening. We're heading back out there today. Safe travels on your return st SD.

Love,

Tim

Debbie @ 50


Deb Smith was a Dahl girl,
adopted at birth;
Older sister of three,
a child of great worth.

Her parents, Clinton & Flavia,
did try as they would;
To raise Deborah Lutheran
as a good Synod should.

Her blue eyes so bright,
her smile tough to forget;
She had court talents too,
a good ball she could set.

A Volley Ball Captain of Jackson High fame;
No less a competitor now for the love of the game.

Through bell bottoms,
mood rings & Watergate blur;
To coffee latte, Yoga, and bike riding, is there a cure.

Deb’s survived all the fads to stay true to her form;
She’s conquered five decades & breezed through the norm.

A mender of hearts she continues to be;
At Sanford Heart Partner Clinic a flyer is she.

She’s quick with a joke if you stay for awhile;
Not unusual for this nurse with a bewitching smile.

Her jokes are outrageous.
Each one custom told;
Her laughter contagious,
for the young and the old.

Deb’s a friend that you hope for,
but few come to know;
Her loyalty boundless,
her carrying efforts pure as snow.


I’ve known this young lady for over thirty of her years;
From 16 to 50, we shared the fun & the tears.

I’ve relished each moment,
each hour as it passes;
Don’t you agree?
She has a great pair of glasses!

Deb is my best fried, councilor, conscious, & lover to boot;
She’s ageless & reminds me that I’m the old coot.

We celebrate this day with hugs, kisses, & fond wishes,
As usual dear, I’ll take care of the dishes.

A poet I’m not, just jazzed up with my wits,
I love you my dear for more than your __ personality.

Dearest Debbie we all love you, each in our own way;
Some cause you’re 50, others cuz your older then they.

The world’s a bit nicer because of your selfless giving;
The people you’ve touch, the life that you’re living.

We’re all here today to say “Happy Birthday & how nifty!”
Is it tougher living with Tim than just turning 50?

Love Tim
