MacAulay on the Mountain
Written just for you on your 80th
With Love From
The Q.O.E.
XOXO
A MacAulay on the Mountain…
For near 200 years…
First fought the wilderness and won…
Despite its unknown fears.
It all began with Grandpa Pat,
Then passed to Grandpa Tom…
Held fast by Nettie and Russell…
Now it rests with Don.
The Laird and Lady there reside
With all their Heirs Apparent…
A light to guide the family home
From places so disparate.
We’re gathered home, whene’er we can,
To a Keep of Bears and Berries,
And each who travels tells a tale
That family history carries.
You are the Magnet of the Clan,
Extended family…
The gift you give to all of us
Is our identity.
We sing with joy that you were born…
We celebrate your birth…
Thankful for the 80 years
You’ve thus far spent on earth…
Delighted that you’ve blessed us
With a most impressive run,
And long may you continue
To revolve around the sun.
Happy Birthday
Love, Lida
