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 |

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 |

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 |
