Armed with this information in the form of a six quatrains, I will look up Anne Johnston and read some of her work. You have emphasized the deep faith in her heart so I will check her out.

That was lovely, Debi, and I'm sure Anne is thrilled to bits with this birthday poem. And I'd like to add my name by saying, I hope you have a really lovely Birthday, Anne! Love and hugs, Sandra xx

How are you after the surgeries? I thought for sure there was to be a poem when all is said and done.

It is done, but the sight is still recovering and they aren't completely sure if they got the shingles damage. The next post op will tell for sure. Then I might do one. Thanks John for caring. It really is an awesome procedure and not our grandparent's surgery.

I am a huge fan of Anne Johnson. Her poems and devotions are excellent, and I always feel better after I've read one. I will send her a birthday wish. Thank you for sharing this birthday tribute with us.

You're already writing? I just emailed you to see how your second eye surgery went. My goodness! Thank you so much for celebrating our dear sister Anne! And I do think her last name is Johnston which is so close to Johnson.

Thanks so much Helen. Yes, I knew that about it being Johnston and yet I forgot to write that. It is corrected now and now you also know that I didn't have my other surgery until next Wed.

Thanks so much my dearest of dearest and I appreciate the comments.
And there are certain reviewers and friends I wouldn't think about missing as I am trying to get to all of them who have reviewed me so loyally. Thanks again my dear friend.

Another lovely birthday tribute, Debi! I particularly liked your amazing description of Anne in the lines,
'Her presence like a sweet soft song
Which sings of Christian bliss'
Such a wonderful way to describe her. Thanks for sharing, and have a fantastic day!
