The day after my Momma went to heaven, my Dad greeted me when I woke up saying, "G'morning, Chip...chip off the ol' block!"...and today, he sent me this endearing, precious poem:
To the "Chip"
Christy, from day one we all seemed to know
You were a special gift from Heaven God did bestow.
You were then and still are now sooo very sweet
To wish you "Happy Birthday" is my special treat
All of our memories we know have proven you to be
the "Apple" that fell the closest to your mother, Marty's tree.
Marty and I were always of our little girl so very, very proud
to be the parents of one who always was a standout in a crowd.
"Chip" you were and "Chip" you will always be
So beautiful, and smart it is plain for us all to see.
Happy Birthday "Chip"
Your,
Dad
