Hey Debi, your creativity and inexhaustible energy inspires me to become more like my big sis. I can't imagine being able to pump out the number of rhyming poems that you pump out on a weekly basis. Your dogged determination to bring joy and honor to your FanStory family is legendary. It is also admirable. Thank you for caring so much about so many! God has given you an incredibly kind heart. I am blessed to be able to call you my triplet sister.

I have been thinking about you a lot and found myself missing you when you are not around. A girl can never have too many brothers around. I am going to try to read your post tonight that you are talking about. Anyway I have been wondering how you are doing. Thanks for always finding me and being so gracious and supportive to my work. I am looking forward to paying you back more after the surgeries are done. But will try for tonight.. Shoot, I answered that one already, so what did you say the name of it is???
And thank you so much for the kind review and comments for Mike's poem. I truly appreciate you so much dear brother. You do realize you got me for life now don't you? Hehehehe! God bless you bro!

-Thanks for sharing the image and poem, Debi.
-You wrote a lovely tribute for Mike and
deserves my last six of the week!!
-I enjoyed reading it and it flowed smoothly
like the lovely merry-go-round.
-Effective imagery and rhyme.
-A very good opening verse with so
many birthdays to celebrate.
-I don't know Mike well, but have read
some of his work. I didn't know he
was a retired English teacher. I can relate to that!
-Very nice closing verses, as well.

Hi Pam, I am so sorry this is so late, but I am so behind but I do keep plucking away at it as I my eyes allow me on the screen. I sure hope next months eye surgeries will change that.

Thank you so much for this kind review and comments. Your are one in a million and I so appreciate the gracious gift of the stars as well. The fun part of these birthday messages is that I am learning along with everyone and it just seems to bring us all closer together. So thanks again Pam, and we have another one tomorrow as it is Linda R's birthday.
Thanks again my dear friend.

No need to apologize for being late, Debi. Hope your surgeries go well. You are very welcome and deserving of the stars and review, and I appreciate your reply.

What a great tribute poem, Debi, to Mike on his day. Doncha just love his bio-pic. Nothing says "love" so profoundly as a woman in her man's arms, her eyes closed, just a hint of a smile on her lips. We should all be so lucky! LOL.

I thank you so very much, Jay. I do love that Mike chose that picture and that he loves his wife enough to want to share his profile spot with her.
I knew the moment I met him he was a gentle kind of man who was the real thing, and that is always my favorite thing to look for in people.

Thanks for your very kind review and comments. So appreciated my friend.

Excellent poem about papa Mike 's birthday poem.
The rhymes are not forced and they flow well.

the structure makes sense, it draws on emotions and it presents strong images.

Wow! I can't believe how beautifully written this poem is. You even earned an ATB. I've got to show it to Wanda; she'll have a fit. What a wonderfully written poem, and thank you for writing it. Best of luck with your writing!

Have a great day, and God bless.

Hi Mike, I apologize for this being so late. My eye specialist has restricted my time on my ipad until next months surgeries. I do read them all as they come in and although I am late, I do try to keep plucking away at them. But I wanted to make sure you knew how much your awesome review means to me. Thank you so much for your very kind words for your poem and your gracious gift of six stars. They are so appreciated, my dear friend!
