RUBY
I love you dearly Ruby, this I forget to say,
So I'm telling you today, for this is your birthday.
You're older than me and since I was small
I can't seem to remember you much at all.
The first remembrance of you that comes to me,
Is when you stayed with us while Carl was in the Army.
You were rocking Arminta in an old rocking chair,
And I was standing behind you, combing your hair.
You rocked on my toe and I yelled a bad word,
Then Dad switched me good, 'cause he had heard.
Today that is funny but that day I was mad.
I couldn't believe, I'd been that bad!
That's my first memory, but far from my last
Becauce we've had a friendship that has always held fast!
