Her birthday, April Twenty Six

From her awesome land, down under

Almost like a bag of tricks

My mind just seemed to wander

So on her day, I couldn't fix

I did not have a photograph

To her, that doesn't matter

And I don't need to make her laugh

Instead my poetry chatter

This pic I found on her behalf 

Her Prose/Poetry beautiful 

She sweetly spoils her muse

With feedback that's so useable

You can't beat her reviews

And all of it so suitable

Was married over fifty years

But a few short years ago

She had to say goodbye, with tears

To the man whom she loved so

She's doing much better, it appears.

She's a gem to all who know her

A lovely diamond in the skies

A ruby if you would prefer

A Pearl within our eyes

Who's Precious like no other

Your day with family was great

Memories will never end

Dear Valda, it's never too late

Our love to you we send 

For that you'll never wait
