Happy Birthday, Yvonne...


Today’s your birthday, and you think I’ve forgotten
But here are our chairs, let’s get to rockin’!
I’ve got your shawl, our purple beginnings
Let’s reminisce, some tales we’ll be spinning…

The lighting is low, but your wrinkles don’t show…
For you still carry that waiflike glow…
Your hands are still nimble, and you’re like me…
Our joints are still good, for that we are pleased!

And age sits upon us like a fine veil
Happy Birthday, my friend, I wish you well!

Happy birthday, Yvonne!

P.S. You are very fortunate to have Sunshine as a close personal friend---I enjoy her as a cyber friend, but I envy your having her companionship!

Karilea, what a wonderful poem for your friend on her birthday. No better gift to give than that of your talent and your heart.

You are both fortunate to have each other.

Hugs, Marti

Happy Birthday, Yvonne!     But I doubt you're old enough for a shawl or rocker.  I am though. A rocker, that is, not a shawl. LOL  

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn

Karilea - Is Yvonne as old as you?  Judging by your picture, that must make her about 27.  Right?

BTW - A very sweet, thoughtful poem.

What a great birthday poem Karilea ... Happy Birthday to Yvonne!  I can just picture you meeting up, and sitting down to chat away (minus the aches and pains, lol).

Best wishes and hugs,

Anyone would be privileged to have you in the "real" Karilea.  Wonderful tribute to your friend.
