HAPPY BIRTHDAY IDA!! ( A Poem)

The work of Ida, to call down from Heaven - A blessing on her labours for the world.
~Lord Alfred Tennyson

Ida broke the mold in 1929:
Petite Neapolitan Vixen ~
She's one-of-a-kind.

Ida is a feisty fighter.
A warrior woman through & through.
Bubbly blonde with eyes sky blue.

A Bold Beauty
with the glamour of Heddy Lamarr.
Note to Hollywood:
Ida Cillo would've gone far...
Farther than any STAR on the walk of Fame.
Oh, with that face & that Proud name!!

Ultimately, she dedicated her life to family & friends.
She married a man named Mike
And told her other admirers to take a hike!!

Born on All Fools Day:
This woman I would never mock.
Tis true to say
she's made of STRONG stock.

She gives more than she takes.
A quality that is truly a treasure.
Mother, wife, sister, aunt, daughter -
Grandmother...every role is a pleasure
Beyond measure.

*Happy Birthday* dear IDA.
Please let us ask you:
"How does it FEEL to be 80 plus 2?"

We LOVE you!!! XOXO
