30 th. After only one year,we got to know each other well. I know even
more about him, and he i, now,. Though, at times, we do not get along,even
argue, most of the time, things are great. Jeff, I consider you, one of my
best friends and as you know, you, Keri and the kids are like family.
This was the first Birthday dose I wrote and it was difficult to write. Yet,
I hung in there and was amazed when I saw the finished product. If you
don't know Jeff, well, you may find outmore about him after reading this.
Enjoy.
, In 1966 in Albany New yourk,
On this day,
You did arrive,
& though, your Twin,Bryant
is not alive
& on this earth
Yet, Your Mom, three, she did give Birth,
& though, your twin did not make it through,
He is a part of you. (:
Your Parents, sadness they must have felt,
Yet, when, they saw you all,
Their hearts did melt. (:
, You only weighed a pound,
& just a little thing,
Yet, so much love & joy, you did bring. (:
Then, you were very small,
& now, your 6 feet tall.
You may have been small,
But, you quickly grew like a weed,
Learned to talk, run & reed. (:
You may have worn braces on your legs,
& you couldn't see,
Yet, that did not stop you in the things you did,
You were a normal kid. (:
Your Parents, showed you the way,
Taught you Morals & values,
That you still have today. (:
They taught you lessons,
& what is right & wrong,
& they taught you how to get along.
They allowed you to play,
& to be yourself,
they were there for you,
In sickness & in health. (:
They laughed with you,
& were there, when you were sad,
& punished you , when you were bad.
They protected you & kept you safe, warm & Dry,
They taught you Love, respect & not to lie. (:
They kept you warm, when you felt cold,
& got mad at you,
When, you did not do what you were told.
Yet, they loved you ,
All the while,
& often,made you smile. (:
Your mother, was into music,
& played the flute,
& your Dad told Jokes,
& was a hoot. (:
Your Dad, like to tinker,
& see how things tick,
& your Mom was there, when you were sick. (:
Your Mom & you liked to watch Tv,
Little House & Cosby
While you & your Dad,
Fun you had,
Gave each other a hand,
& listened to the HF Band
He Helped you to become a Ham,
& learn a Computer with Ram. (:
You all listened to Country music,
On the road,
& you learned ,
How to write computer code. (:
You were taught, English, History & science,
& common sense,
You also were taught Math,
& they, directed you down the right path. (:
You sometimes , did not get along with your classmates,
& as a teenager,
Did not have many dates.
You were involved in school,
& Though, you were not cool,
& not in the In crowd,
You did well,
& Made your Family proud. (:
You made it through, ASBD,
& I am sure, your glad,
When, you were free. (:
In High School, Many Girls, you did not date,
Yet, you did like to roller skate.
Girls, did not like you,
So, you did think,
Shy, You would just smile & wink,
Play it cool. (:
In the summer, You were up at dawn,
& in the pool,
Until after sunset,
You did not care,if you were cold & soaking wet. (:
When, you were younger, you got along with your Brother John,
You played together,
With Bows & arrows,
& other toys,
Got into your share of trouble,
Typical boys!. (:
& many bones you did break,
& many visits, to the Hospital, St. Mary,,
Many times, your Parents, you, they did bring,
, you should have your own special Wing. (:
& though, you & John ,
Don't have much in common,
As adults, as men,
& have drifted apart,
You love each other
In your heart. (:
After Graduation,
You attended College,
At PCC,
& that, is where, your life did significantly did change,
Your life , it did rearrange,,
This was a turning point for you
& your life, has not been the same,
This is true. (:
,In 85,
You went to the Seeing Eye
& got your first Guide Sunny,,
She was both Inteligent & Funny. (:
In 86, Sunny saw a girl named Keri on the spot,
& later, you thought she was hot! (:
Thought, she was intelligent & friendly,
You hit It off,
& talked a long time, that day,
So, much, to say,
& so connect ed,
Two years later,
You two, did Wed. (:
On October 15 of 88,
You became Husbund & Wife,
Best friends & soul mates. (: ,
& Though, your love is stronger & things are great today,
It was not always that way.
Your Families, did not think, you should be together,
Yet, you made it through, the stormy weather,
Religion, did play a role,
Yet, it did not take a tole,
Your very connected & two hearts as one,
& whole. (:
On Sept 18 of 90,
Your Family, became three,
There was David ,
He is a special Kid.
He does have some special needs,
Developmentally Challenged & Socially shy,
He is a loveableGuy ,
& stays in the mix,
Likes auto mechanics,
Things, he loves to fix. (:
Then, April 29 of 93,
Your family of three,
Now turned to four,
& after that, you did not want, anymore. (:
Brian, is the younger Brother,
He like you,
& David, like his Mother . (:
Brian & you are cut from the same cloth,
& the apple,Does not fall far from the tree,
I am sure , you do agree. :
Brian is smart as well,
& he puts you both through hell.
He has your sense of humor & fast as a whip,
& sometimes, both of them, give you lip.
However, you won't change a thing,
Though, they make you crazy & stressed,
& the house is a mess,
You don't love them any less.
They both Bring you & Keri,
Happiness & Joy,
They, are good Boys,
& wil grow, into Great Men,
Who, will reflect back,
& say, do you remember When? (:

You are definitely A Family Man. (:
You spend as much time with Keri, your Wife,
You have a lot going onin your life.
Your involved with the Church,
& in the Community,
You devote a great deal of time,
To ACB. (:
