Is this for Karen karenina? Maybe is your best friend out of fanstory. In any case. It's a beautiful poem and presentation. You are the best at this kind of poem.

Well done!

    Hi Gypsy, Karen is married to my brother, Greg. He is a handsome, Dick Clark type of guy who is my hero and I love him with all my heart. He is the only one I have left so he means the world to me. But so does his wife. She is everything I say in the poem. She is as real as can be and as wonderful too.
    I am super blessed to have her in my life.

    However, Karenina is also one of my special angels and feel the same about her. Thanks for all your kind comments, sweetie.
    Love, Debi

How lovely to have a sister-in-law who's like a blood relative with whom you have a loving and enduring relationship! I'm sure she'll be proud of this fine birthday tribute. Debbie

This is a lovely poem, like all your birthday poems, but it is more special because she is married to your brother. You certainly give a royal treatment to all those you know who have gained another year of life and knowledge. I hope you have recovered from your illness as much as possible. You are in my prayers.

Such a gentle poem presented in a soft pastel background with pretty script and easy to read font. I enjoy reading poems and stories that involve female characters supporting and encouraging their friends, family and colleagues. This is a delightful poem to read aloud as well. I stumbled only once. where you switched from sister in law to sister in love. But I smiled when I caught myself.

This is a lovely birthday poem in celebration of your sister in law, Karen. It's always good when our siblings partners become our own friends and mates, as it sounds like you and karen are. Beautifully written, as always Debi.
Cheers

Debi, there is nothing sweeter for a writer than to write about a family member. You can tell there's a real closeness here.

I still love Barbara Streisand. She's my go-to gal. Lol.

Happy Birthday, Karen!
