Love this poem! Thank you so much. You definitely gave me much to Cherish, just like the Cherry on an ice Cream sundae with my birthday Cake. The music Choices are Colossal. "How Great Thou Art" is one of the first hymns I played on piano as a Child, and I often aCCompanied my Dad when he sang it. It was his favorite hymn, and is mine also. I love all the C words you used. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You're the best!
Love,
Carol

    Thanks so much, Carol, and you can't know how relieved I am that you are ok. I have been praying even harder for you since I heard that what I was worried about was true. And I am so happy that you liked your poem too.
    That is always something I worry about until I hear.

    If you can, please check out all the reviews and read all the sweet messages from all the people. You are loved by so many, and have many prayers, and hopefully even more now.
    keep me updated and I hope you had a better birthday once you were in touch with family and everyone. And speaking of family, did you get the link I sent you to give to your family if you would like to send them your poem?
    God Bless, Sweetie. Lotsa love, Debi

    Thanks again for the lovely poem. You make me feel very special, especially since I know your time online is limited. Yes, I received the link to share your blessing. I'll check out the comments as I'm able this week. Love & prayers.

Debi, thank you so much for sharing with your FanStory Community one more birthday wish and Creative tribute Concerning one of our very special family members. I like how you used your own artwork to Celebrate Carol. Your Cleverness Came through with the C's as well, (C what I did there). This poem Concerning Carol Crystallized many of the Central Core Concepts of her life for our Clarification. Job very well done.

She's such a quality lady, she's a one off, as we all are I think. But she is looking after her sick hubby, but I didn't know she was a quality pianist and musician, she's such a great lady, and with this tribute you have beautifully covered it my talented friends well done, thoughtfully a graciously written, blessings Roy

    Roy, yes she really is that. And the day of her birthday she had a terrible car accident and totaled her car and the weird thing is all day I had a feeling she was in a car crash.

    I thank you so much for your lovely comments for Carol's poem. I know she will be so happy to hear from all the wonderful friends she has here.
    Thanks again, my dear friend. Love, Debi

First of all, your poem is stunning with the use of C words to tell the story of Carol's life. Over the past years your birthday poems have become more detailed and rhythmic, with superior flow. But now, you're showing off, with original artwork. (Smile)

Carol has lived an exciting and varied life, some of which we may have never known but for your poem. I recall reading her Valentine's Day story at the restaurant. One thing we shared in common was retiring and then teaching preschool.

To Carol: I wish you a very happy birthday and a year filled with love, joy, and God's peace.

    Oh Nooo! I'm so sorry to read the word 'Covid.' I had hoped we were finished with that scourge. I'm praying for your speedy, total recovery.

Thank you so much for celebrating our wonderful sister, Carol! She is such a blessing and yes, I'm praying for her and her family.
You were so creative making a C-full birthday poem! And even though I thought I knew her well, I didn't know she had three daughters! You are doing such a fabulous job with this birthday tributes. I am so glad you are doing these. I have no energy this week. And I know you really don't have energy either but you make the time and effort. Thank you!!

    Hi Helen, me again. I slept almost all day, so I figured I could maybe sit up and do this for a while. Three thanks to you tonight.
    I appreciate all your kind words and I don't know if you knew but Carol and her husband were in a car accident yesterday and totaled her car out. As if she hasn't been through enough, but at least they are ok. That is what is most important. And the weird thing is I kept having that feeling yesterday that she had. Strange. So please say extra prayers tonight for them.
    Thanks again, dear sister. Love you lots. Debi

    So glad you knew! I was thinking about sharing with you but didn't want to burden you with more worries. She's amazing - giving glory to God that they aren't more injured. Plus, she's not dizzy. Please pray for their daughter's wedding to go smoothly without any more trouble. It's either Friday or Saturday. 💖🙏
reply by the author on 27-Jun-2024
    Yes, I am so relieved too.
    They seem to know how to count their blessings, something somedays I forget to do in stressful situations.
    She is a good role model for sure.

    💖💖 I know it's a super hard job to be a pastor's wife so she has my utmost respect. Let's keep praying for them. Also, Bill's wife has surgeries coming up and Beth is recovering from dental surgery. So much to be praying about ! 💖🙏💞

Another Great tribute poem this time for CC who according to hour notes shares researching her writing topics before composing poetry which I share this extra step too. Thank you for Sharing this FS Members Celebration

Hi Debi,
This is a thorough autobiography and birthday poem for Carol.
She and Mitch are having their problems. They will both be in my
prayers.
I like that you used the c words but sometimes putting them in created
long lines that broke the rhythm of the poem for me.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great rest of the week.
Joan

    Hi Joan, but if you are familiar with these biographical poems, you would probably know that if it wasn't that word, it would have to be another. Each line has to have fourteen syllables and I am very careful to never break my meter by using one that doesn't fit. So what I am saying that if I didn't call her Clever grandsons, I would maybe call them loving grandsons. However I do agree that these can get quite lengthy but are necessary for getting all the info in. I do know what you are saying but yes, if it wasn't the C word it might be an F word. LOL...or a B or an M...... These poems are extremely difficult and I put my heart into them, and would love to do one on you when your birthday comes up, since yours last year was different. I wasn't doing them yet. Let me know, as I would love to it you want. I never do one for anyone who doesn't give permission. Or never put any info without permission. Ok, and thanks so much for your observations as I love that you ask so I can help in any way to have you understand.

    Thanks for the kind words for Carol too, my dear friend. Love, Debi

    You're welcome, Debi.
    What other kind of information to you need to do your updated kind of birthday poem? I can see how they can be very difficult to do.
    Joan
reply by the author on 25-Jun-2024
    When is your birthday, Joan? I don't remember now, but I would love to do one for you.
    I just ask for whatever people want to share but it is usually family, jobs, careers, hobbies, accomplishments and in this line of what we do, some have had a lot. That is why they can get heavy, but descriptive words are necessary in order to complete the sentence and fillers too like and, or, so, just so you can make sure the meter is on point.
    So, my dear, tell me again when your birthday is and let's plan one for you. I was not feeling well at all last year when I did yours and I would love to make it up to you.

Hi Debi, your poem is a beautiful birthday tribute to Carol. She has lived an amazing life. Of special note:

She played Piano Classic duet when in Hungary
Her shining musical achievement; a Class act to see
(Very impressive)

Now, there is nothing left to say, except to wish Carol a very Happy Birthday and let her blow out the "C"andles. Happy Birthday, Carol.
You Rock! Xo. Margaret ~ LateBloomer

    Oh No. Where did you catch Covid?
reply by LateBloomer on 26-Jun-2024
    Is this the 3rd time that you have it?
reply by the author on 26-Jun-2024
    Fourth time and this time is from when we went back to casino to cash in the ticket (last Thursday) I forgot to cash from our anniversary outing.

    But the good news is that Glen hit a thousand this time. And that one there are no taxes that time.
