Sound the silver trumpets, put forth the call to arms
For the maiden Marsha has gulled us with her charms
She sings those words of loving; to quest for her we go
She smiles us in beguiling, to place our works on show

She stand amid the ramparts, to fight for her we must
For she has wished this birthday will be a time of trust
Her quest from her this season, to hear those words of love
We dare not ask the reason but heed to her behove

She waves the prize of reckoning, a smile from her fair lips
And we in quest of barding give praises from the slips
A poet's quest her asking, to lift her heart in soar
And because she gives so much, can we not give back more?

So write your words aplenty in words and in your song
And offer up your voices - good wish in birthday throng
For Marsha stands here waiting, for wishes good to flow
She would beg the poetry from Deer and even Toe

She does not ask for miracles, a line or two will do
To lift her flagging spirits and show you love her too
This lady of the laughing light calls you out today
So come and show your honour to this her birth of day.

And I the scribe from foreign lands, will take your words into her hands
So make the wishes warm and bright for they must last many a night.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Beautiful poem Keth, for a beautiful lady

HURRAY HURRAY HURRAY
Let's hit the drums today
For Mushy my beloved friend
All hugs from me are truly meant
Her laughter I have still in mind
Marsha dear, you are too kind
Hope your day is a day to remember
As I will never forget one September

Titia


Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

Keth beloved one thank you muchly, you know I love this utterly utterly utterly

With this gift of song you’ve given me
Another slice of your dreamy poetry
But each day you gift me with more
Your voice guides me and helps me soar
You are the reflection that shines bright
The mirror of wonder that gives light
You are the blessing that saves my soul
Its your touch that keeps me whole

With this gift of your healing grace
I feel the warmth of your reviving trace
You bless me each and every day
Its in your footsteps I find the way
Whenever I’ve lost the path to me
You show me the way with such clarity
With this reply I say thank you Kethry
For the gift of your soul and for poetry

Everyone else thank you so very much for the gift of your friendship it means a great deal to me and this particular time it is very very welcome


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds
but I can face the future with courage brave and bold

Keth, you sweet dear lady:  that was probably one of the single most beautiful poems for a birthday i have EVER read.

Maaaaasha!  Happy Birthday you Dearheart!
Your reply was magnificent, as they always are, brimming with touching and deep feeling!
Hope your spirits lift on this day and all those you love give back to you 10 fold.  
You are a blessed soul with the greatest gift to world bestowed freely daily:  that being of unbridled and unequivocal love.

Dulcy and the Batman guy
and of course, I,
give YOU, Dearheart,
a kiss on top of your widdle haid!
Jeff
