To Iris, On Her Birthday

From my pre-blogging days, here’s one that was written with a smile in my heart, September 2011.

You Are The…

Bean in my burrito, cookie dough in my DQ,

Aria in my cantata, lox in my frittata.

Blueberry in my trifle, whipped topping on my waffle, 

Sampaguita of my essential oil, yellow daisy in my garden soil.

Banana in my smoothie, chairman of my committee,

Blue coloring in my slurpee, lemon in my iced tea.

Shoulder when I cry, wings when I fly,

Cure to my aray! - truth behind my lie.

In short, you are the rainbow in my sky,

The IRIS of my eye.
