Ode to Kathryn by John in 2005

John is truly blessed with the gift of communication. Here is the ode he wrote about me awhile back.



Ode To Kat
5/8/05

Let me have your attention, as I reminisce,
about a sweet old gal with a super-tender kiss.

She enjoys peppermint patties and chicken pot pies,
looks straight to your soul with those pretty blue eyes.

Frequents Publix, Wal-mart, and Payless Shoe Source,
when it comes to computers, she’s a powerful force!

She loves her man, and her little toe-heads,
naps enough to make a living as a tester of beds.

Graduated from PBA back when it was a C,
who knew raising kids required a Master’s Degree?

She seems kind of shy, but she’s really a flirt
even fell for this line “Hey, groovy shirt.”

Passionate to keep her children from eating Play-dough,
and there’s no place like Texas...especially Plan-o.

A very smart gal, she’s a bird who can sing,
but her number one talent is creating beautiful offspring.

A really clear thinker, who keeps us well-grounded,
her heart is so big that it keeps you surrounded.

Accomplishment driven, she’s won trophies and plaques,
when it comes to travel, she’s the queen bee of snacks.

Spends time with her family at the drop of a hat,
Happy Mother’s Day dear wife, you’re my favorite Kat!

All my Love...John

  1. What a sweet poem! Glad you still keep Plano in your heart...though it has changed a bit since the last time you visited - 20ish years ago! Well, I recently fessed up to mommajen about being a quiet reader of your blogs and thought maybe it would be theraputic to start one. So I am QuiteContrary
