Molasses doesn’t suit you
and I simply don’t write corn.
So how can I salute you
on the day that you were born?

Shall I mention wicked humor
and a tendency to weep?
I swore I’d spread no rumors,
so that’s a secret I will keep.

Shall I say you make me blush?
At times, you know, it’s true.
My dear, if I were flush,
I’d send a gift or two to you.

I’d send you a dancing boy
with a dimple in his chin.
It’s a gift you might enjoy;
I think he’d work right in

with some happy birthday tunes.
You need to take a break;
he could blow up the balloons
and then he could bake your cake.

Nan darling girl this is utterly utterly wonderful Marsha Birthday Week is off to a fabulous start.

YOUR writing is wonderful the poem is a delightful confection and I'll have as much of it as I can.

Wonderful to see you here darling girl thank you muchly. Big hugs and huge smiles

A treasure to be cherished,
A gift from God above;
Is the beauty of a friendship,
Touched by unconditional love.

A love that asks no questions,
Believes in all the best;
Never doubting, ever trusting,
Withstanding any test.

A love that weathers any storm,
And yet that love still stands;
Through the very darkest hour,
It still reaches out a hand.

There in that hand the sweetest gift,
That you can give a friend;
A heart that cares, a love that shares,
That will be there till the end.


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Nan - This is such a nice birthday poem for Marsha.  Nicely done, and it is good to see you here.  On my birthday, can you just send someone over to clean my house, it is quite a mess.

Dear Dave,
Glad you liked the poem. Sending someone over to clean house would be the perfect birthday gift for almost everyone, wouldn't it?
