I know all you creative ladies will come up with something good. Need something appropriate for my MIL's 80th birthday label. I made a tree of life (will post photo when done) with the leaves around the top flowers representing four children and spouses, then a layer of leaves for grandchildren and one for great grandchildren. Don't want it mushy as we don't have that type of relationship, friendly but not especially warm so don't want to it to represent something it's not. Simple, but good for reaching 80. Everything I have is too lovey. Thanks in advance.
Sorry but I keep getting deleted because of trigg*r words. Space in our L*ords name below because it is a trigg*er word.
quote:
A New leaf
There’s a new leaf upon the Tree A thousand, thousand have been before In the life of this great tree Yet, the Tree rejoices, and is glad For there is a New Leaf upon the tree
The roots are deep, and hidden Tis one tree from root to branch And lives in and through each leaf The hearts’ smile resurrected Through the New leaf upon the tree
Like the stars of heaven New leaves have been many And so they all are One For they all share the same root Bless the New leaf upon the tree
Perfection in the Blessing Joy released in tears of love The strength in life will comfort From root to G_od above A New leaf upon the tree
Beauty, Truth, and life Complete from root to branch When life’s cycle turns Leaves fall to nourish roots And behold, a New leaf upon the tree

I will post the other part that got deleted. I have to search for it again.

I just found this one. Still looking for the missing one:
quote:
A man is a bundle of relations, a knot of roots, whose flower and fruitage is the world. - Ralph W. Emerson, 1803 - 1882
Finally found what I was looking for. This is a quote for a synopsis on a poem written by Amy Reynolds on 5/3/99 called A TOUCH OF LOVE:
quote:
Things change, children grow into adults - and still the cycle of Life continues.
