A sweet birthday poem for Barbara. I read one of her poems today about being 70 so I wasn't surprised to see your message for her.

Well done
Blessings
Janet

Another great birthday post. Your birthday poems make our FS family that much closer as you introduce unknown facts about the subject.
I am sure Barbara is honored by your words and wishes.
Well done,
Mary

Oh my! I love your poem, I love the music... My toes are tapping and I'm smiling big! Once again you give us the most beautiful little bio of the birthday honoree, and do so in rhyme and meter and with a heart as big as the sky!

Happy birthday to Barbara Wiley, our #1 gal!

    Well...with this back I'm limited to toe-tapping and an occasional achy "sway" but in my heart, I'm out and out dancing! LOL...

    Sometimes, Sweet Pea, you just have to do what so many are doing and write a little of what you?d say to all, then add a little personal touch.

Well, you've done it again, and if I didn't already love your poetry, I would still love your obvious care for other people -- now I DO want a poem from you on my birthday! (LOL) Lovely, Debi. I bet Barb is thrilled!

Hi Debi, this is such a warm and heartfelt poem for Barb. She is quite accomplished. I can only think, "How does she do it." 46 years of marriage is no easy feat, as some of us may know - lol. Just having a little fun her. I love the artwork. Of special note:

Our Barb has written five novels, you'll find at Amazon
FanStory 2023, she is ranked number one

(WOW! There's nothing left for me to say, except, "Happy Birthday, Barb. You Rock.)

Well done. This poem made me smile. Xo. M

Debi.
Now that's how to start 2024 off with a bang!

Barbara has been a long standing FanStory member who writes outstanding novels and stays true to herself and her beliefs.

I feel you have painted a perfect picture with your words on her behalf.

Happy birthday, Barbara!

John

I read Barbara's letters to her granddaughters and I know how prized they are to her.

I believe Barbara was the first novelist I read here on FS, and I've been reading her dialogue-driven novels ever since.

Happy birthday, Barbara! And many more to come.

Thank you for another fine birthday poem, Debi:-)

I enjoyed reading this. It sounds like a tribute and an invitation, plus some promotional lines as well, such as these: Her writing gives her peace as she's a published novelist

If you have not been reading her, come see what you have missed
Nice share.

Of course, you get six for this gorgeous poem. I actually have five novels on Amazon. I probably made a mistake in my notes. LOL I tend to do that. You are truly a saint doing this for us. HUGS!!!!! Sending love and prayers.

    Oh Barb, I am sorry and I am on it right now to change it. Is there anything else? I also worried about the fact that I call you Barb, and not Barbara? That would be harder to change at this point as it took a lot to get the meter just right, but I can use her and she instead. I am so glad you told me. I will be right back.

    I changed it to five. I went on Amazon last night and tried to take pictures of your books but they didn?t come out very well so I couldn?t used them for your poem. I hope you like the picture I used.
    Sweetie, anything can be changed. I changed so much as I went already and as you see I guessed about a few things for fill ins.

    Only my family called be Barb, but that's okay, no big deal. You're family. In college I switched to Barbara, but my family never caught on. Either has my husband. LOL
reply by the author on 03-Jan-2024
    Ok, if you?re sure. I have a sister named Barbara and we call her Barb, so it comes natural for me to just assume it is ok. And here is a link that you can copy and paste and send to family and they can view it how you see it. Try it first tho to make sure it works. I am so tickled that you are please as I always hold my breath until I know for sure. Thank you so much and Happy Birthday.
    Hope the picture is ok.
