Your last three lines of this poem are great tongue-in-cheek humor. The reader will smile at your verbal grin. The commonalities are notable, but the last three lines are classic.

Happy Birthday to Patty. Forty years of friendship is something to celebrate too. You must have had plenty milestones. It's like you're family. You're a nice person to commemorate your friend. God bless you both. Nice work. Excellent!

Friendship is a good thing, if you can trust them. Evidently you found someone who you can trust and will not take advantage of you. These kinds of people are hard to find.

That is such a lovely poetic birthday wish for your friend Patty. It is loving, has great imagery and just stands out. I am sure she loved it.
I like your costume - how cute and creative!
Enjoyed it very much, thank you for sharing.

I liked the touch of mischief implied in the last line and of course the obviously genuine tribute to your 'sister' and best friend. Such friends are invaluable - what would we do without them. I hope you continue to share this relationship as the poem suggests.
Straightforward aabb rhyming quatrains do the job well for this.

"True friends are like diamonds, precious and rare. False ones like autumn leaves, found everywhere." It is said, If you have five friends at the end of your life, you are blessed. Thanks for writing about your 40 yr friendship with Patty. So, Happy Birthday today and always. Love, Kay xx

We absolutely must keep our best friends close because they know way too much about else. I know my best friend knows me better than I know myself. No doubt. Love this tribute to your best of the best.

Both your picture and poem are beautiful. And the last line is hilarious. I didn't expect it.
It's really important to have good friends like that.
One of my best friends is Spanish and the other one is English. We met here on FS, in fact.
Thanks for sharing.
