For B. Lawrence Peters
When I think of you
I see the baby, the child
the woman you became
I have to just smile
when I look at you
I see you running wild
but to me you're always the same
baby, kid to child
Pretty little girl
with the long braids flying
grows up to be
a woman I'm admiring
grows up to me
a woman that's inspiring
All the things you do
All the things you've done
From Saratoga summers
to stage screen and sun,
hold a place in my life
marks a spot in the time
that I've known you Bette
I even let you know I'm crying
You're thirty eight now
and even getting better
I wanted to let you know
in a card or a letter
that I love you Bette
But that isn't my way
I had the pick the best way Bette
so I used my words to say
That I love you Bette
always have always will
There's a place in my life
that you always will fill
I need you now
like I needed you then
from 8 to 38
you've always been my friend
I go out in the world
Always knowing that you're there
Always knowing that you love me
Always knowing that you care
So happy birthday Bette
from your brother who knows
that you love me as I love you
I took the words that I learned
and they became a song
They're not perfect yet but,
Happy Birthday Bette

"With a smile on my face, and a tear streaming down it, I savored every word. B" -- Betty-Ann Sherer, wingdale, new york, usa.
"Truly beautiful" -- Dan Campbell, wingdale , ny.
"Don't suppose this will win any literary awards, but you made your sister cry and brought tears to my eyes so it gets a big blue rosette from me. I have a brother who lives within five minutes walking distance from me, I don't think I'd know him if we passed on the street. I haven't seen him for over nine years. He was my hero when I was a little girl, just as I suspect you were Betty's it sounds as though you still are. I wish I could heal the rift with my brother but it's been too long. Bless you both and happy Birthday Bettey. This ones got to be worth an eight just because it made someone happy. " -- Sooz, Dalton, England, Cumbria.
