I’ve never been
a pink kind of girl
not a tomboy
but certainly no frills
no froo-froo
rarely caught in a dress
and ruffles are
strictly
NOT
allowed
โ
But you,
you have me
finding pink
embracing it
Flowers kissed with a hint of pink
the blush of pink of a young girls cheek
fushia streaks across the sky
all around me I see pink
and I keep looking
for those pink trees, girl
Cause I know
when i spot one
you will be sitting beneath it
probably sipping
on a pink lemonade ๐

Way to own it! Happy birthday. ~ Marie
(great name by the way…)
HEHE My Grandmother on my mom’s side was named Augusta Marie. But she didn’t like Augusta. Which I love. I was born in August so my middle name is after her. ๐ I agree with you! Hey you gotta own it because hiding is not a good thing! It’s hard to believe I am! I shocked everyone at work. I stay pretty much to myself! I love know your name is Marie too!
Sorry for the delay just getting aroung to replying to comments. I’m really glad you liked it and it looks like you ended up having a fabulous fun and love filled Birthday! YAY!
Ask you anything, huh?! Let me see oh wise one… Who, actually did put the Ram in a ramalamdingdong???

Happy, “Pink” Birthday!!!
Oh, Melanieโฆthe perfect poem for Michelle. It’s adorable and sweet and wonderfulโฆgirlfriends are the best.<3

You may not see yourself as a “pink” girl, but the way you expressed your admiration for the pinkness in Mechelle, brought a vision of you as a sweet and beautiful six year old skipping in your black shiny shoes, dressed in an Easter pink organza dress humming to yourself a tune for flying to your pink moon. I wonder if the moon has actually changed its color from blue to acommodate your pinkish life. How I wish for it to be true for you. I will hold on to this vision long enough for the dream to materialize. You have given Michelle a precious gift from your heart, now its your turn to receive the gift of “once in a lifetime”! Happy gifting to both you and Michelle.
Thank you so much, Sonia! (sorry for the delayed response…really behind on replying to comments) ๐
What a lovely vision you have โค

finding Pink from Melanie โค
Thanks ๐
I wonder why I heard a joyful piano solo while reading?
I’ve not been a pink frilly girl for a long time either, but I guess some people could be influential and persuasive, I might just change that – very good Melanie!! ๐
Thanks Suzy!
Moving and yes, I have found pink too!
Yay!! Thanks
