Cracklin rose

Tall tough woman
In slender white
Dark lined eyes
With a twinkling bite!

Now a lady, now a child
Now a tramp, deliciously wild...

Painting pictures
Sharp and bright,
Yet soft and warm
All shade and light.

Cooks like an artist
Chirps like a bird
Loves like the ocean
The sky has stirred.

Cries like a baby
Laughs like the stars
Leads her own life
No holds barred.

Smokes like an angel
Dreams like a child
Fears with a passion
Dances like wild.

Books on her bedspread
Music galore
Candles and colour
Magic in store!

Tough as a tiger
Wading through storms
Cherishing yet
A heart that warms.

Here's the birthday toast
With some great lamb roast
For a friend in a billion
(and do make a million)

Live it your way
Have a stupendous day
Keep rockin and rollin and smilin away!

(for one of the strongest, most beautiful people I know)

    Reminds me of an Alanis song.

    Secretly, I'm hoping some part of this is celebrating you.

    Sounds like a lady living fiercely. I hope she'll get a chance to read it?
