Under the Yellow Rose Sky<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the realm where yellow roses bloom,
And lupins stand tall in their regal hues,
There, in the heart of nature’s loom,
Resides a soul, as rare as morning dews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her laughter, a symphony, pure and true,
Echoes in the chambers of every heart she touches,
A matriarch, a beacon, in skies of endless blue,
With hands that crafted love, a legacy unclutched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With three seeds sown, nurtured under her sun,
They blossomed, branches reaching wide,
Six grandchildren, like rays, spun
And five greats, stars in her night’s tide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She, the artist of life’s intricate card,
Painting birthdays, anniversaries, with words so kind,
In every stroke, her love, a guard,
In every line, the warmth of her mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compassionate warrior, with wit sharp as thorns,
Yet, in her eyes, a tenderness, unfurled,
Her blunt wisdom, in which honesty adorns,
A gem, in this ever-twisting world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her laughter, a melody, light and free,
Yet, a fuse, short, in her spirited flame,
in her, dance of complexity,
In every role, she’s never the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the community she fostered, her roots run deep,
Respect and love, her invisible crown,
In every lesson, every leap,
In her presence, no one could drown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From her, we learned the art of the feast,
The craft of creating, with hands and heart,
In every pie, every dish, a celebratory beast,
In her teachings, we all play a part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ninety years, under the sun and moon,
She walks, with yellow roses in her hands,
Amidst the hum of the hummingbird’s tune,
In a garden of memories, endlessly fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With honeysuckles’ sweet embrace,
And apple pies cooling in the breeze,
She finds solace in her tranquil place,
With a book, a puzzle, her mind at ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To her, our North Star, our guiding light,
We owe the colors of our dawn,
In her strength, her endless fight,
Our love for her, forever drawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this tapestry of time, she’s our golden thread,
In her, our stories, our hopes, intertwine,
As she turns ninety, ahead,
We celebrate her, our eternal ray of light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
