The flow of this amazing tribute to Jakes on his birthday is very lyrical and could pass for a song. The humour embedded in the poem makes it more outstanding. Well done, dear Debi. I wish Jake a lovely birthday celebration with many more celebrations in the coming years.

I am not so sure about his music choices, but your poem is great as it covers many of the interesting things that Jake has done in his 69 years. He has lived an interesting life in his many times of cheating death.

Jake has led a very interesting life, from traveling around the world, visiting all fifty states, living in South Korea, and being married 41 years. You have done a fantastic job incorporating all these facts and more in a beautiful poetic tribute to Jake. The stories you are able to tell in these birthday poems are fascinating and fun to read. I truly appreciate the work you put into them.

To Jake: I wish you a year of joy, peace and love.

For both this one and the previous one you deserve a maximum, sorry. I've been too generous to other poets and have none left. Your poems never disappoint. But gee they make me envious.

My husband came back to us a few times, but thankfully not 24 instances, that would be very scary for both Jake and his wife. I love the artwork you've chosen for this birthday greeting for Jake. I hope he enjoyed his day, whichever one he celebrates on.
cheers,
valda

Wow! Happy Birthday Jake. What a colorful life you have lived. The man whom God needs. You have kept your eyes on the prize and lived. Even tho' at times you have suffered, you have survived because you are loved. Many more birthdays come your way, live as you have always lived, with God's blessings and protection. Kace xx

    Thanks sweetie, for this very kind message for Jake. I am glad that you took such an interest in him. I think Jake could benefit from someone like you.
    He is a nice man but he is not a Christian and I have prayed for him many times, so I hope you have some luck with him. Maybe you could turn him around towards the Lord. Thanks so much, Kace. Love, Debi

    I'm not a book-read Christian. Don't go to Church. In my culture, we worship God's handiwork, like hug a tree and always thank an animal for taking it's life. My race is ancient. Our God is Bahamie. Aboriginal name. No matter what we call Him, he is still God. My garden is my cathedral. Nature can teach us so much. If you are interested, I have written book chapters on The Dreamtime. Love, Kace. PS: my people have owned this Great Southern Land for 58,000 years until the British arrived! And yes, I love Jesus.

To me at least it's obvious you aren't making fun of anyone, Debi.
I enjoyed reading this very much not only because you make life easier for us when we are going through a bad patch.
I think there are a couple of typos:
- six weeks' time
-forty-one
BTW, nurses are incredible sometimes.
Thanks for sharing.

    Hahaha, you nut, you!! LOL.. yes, nurses are incredible. But obviously this one wasn't. I tried to train to be one and went thru the whole course and kept passing out in the doctor's arms during surgery and after two times we figured it wasn't for me.

    So later went on to be a title one teacher. So with that being said look who just corrected my typos. LOL.. but you know I have lately gotten away from using punctuation in my poetry so I have to be aware of some needed. I do always get my commas and parenthesis.

    Things like that, but I hate using periods since I was shamed horribly when I first got here for using them.

    Anyway, thank you, Sweetie for all the little gifts you brought me. Especially the gift of you. I miss you, the little typos corrections and the generous six stars. You are a gem. Thank you so very much!!!
    Lotsa love, Debi

Happy Birthday, Jake. Great music choices. Debi, once again you helped someone celebrate their birthday with your brilliant talent. I know Jake is enjoying all the comments as well as we all have in the past. I will go and visit his work soon.
God bless,
Steve
