Happy Birthday Beth

Infectious laughter + flailing arms,
a smile that spans a billion yards,
Banter that beams + chatter that charms,
you were always taking people into your arms.

Always arranging, planning + gathering,
Hosting + smiling + above all, laughing.
Dancing + leaping + jumping around
Encouraging others to fly off the ground.

A pillar of strength, support + wisdom to all
You'd NEVER let a single person fall.
With such honesty + belief + advice to share
Regardless of insignificance, you'd always care

Your endless energy poured onto others,
ambitions to further yourself without any bother
Time didn't matter, you'd develop your skills further
And still have incentives to try out another

Magnificent Betty, you were the most fun,
On countless times, we'd ride into the sun,
Or dive into waves or roll down hills.
We'd act like clowns as if the world stood still
And shake with laughter until your braces got caught
+ with conflicting personal tastes, we famously fought

Our precious Betty, we miss you so much,
so many lives, with your magic you touched.
Your devoted friends describe you as inspirational,
And we know that by knowing you our lives were made full.
