Oh Evelyn our friend so dear
Seems you’ve clicked off another year.
The march of time: relentless, cruel,
No pausing, stopping (as a rule).
And not just that but Decades! Six!
To persevere – what were your tricks?
But sands of time they do not stop ya’,
For creativity few can top ya’.
You making beauty ageless, sweet,
Year after year was no mean feat.
Paper, textiles, yarn or plastic,
Your view and work are sure fantastic.
With passing years your vision heightens
While our dim sight your artwork lightens.
So that is why we, age disdain,
Worry about it? All in vain!
All these little rhymes to say
We hope this is a special day.
This party we would never miss,
To celebrate and reminisce.
So Happy Birthday, our dear friend,
Felicitations warm we send.
Along with love and admiration,
And for decades more art, keen anticipation.
