Happy Birthday, jellybeans...

mugwort (a perfectly good name even if you never used it *sniff*)
Corazon

(yassee why I call her Sybil? *G* I know I've probably left out some. LOL

I hope your special day is a great one... I love you, O&O!!!! And you deserve better... but I couldn't steal a real poet's pen. *G*

Supple Steel

You've bent before strong winds that sought to break you,
Holding on to hope when joy's forsaken you.
You've maintained trust throught trials that ought to make you
Bitter. But no, your battered spirit's shining
With firmer faith after the fire's refining.
On promises of better life you're dining
While this one seems to be submerged in strife.
You've endured agonies that time can't erase
Yet seek to keep big smiles on little faces
Who think heaven-on-earth is Granny's place
For love is given in your every glance.
You've never allowed cruelest circumstances
To keep you down - in fact, they've only enhanced
Your beliefs in God and a better life.
Please know I'd share your burdens if I could,
Bear your pain myself if somehow that would
Give you relief, but wishing does no good -
I can only be your friend
And hope you realize how I admire you,
How I am in awe of all that inspires you.
I know you'll face all that life requires of you
With a grace that never ends.

Happy Birthday, dear lady...

Smiling with all of you...of course, I wouldn't know anything about split personalities, other than the fact that they must just multiply the goodness that they give off in their aura...

Happy Birthday, jellybeans!

Happy Birthday JB!!!

(I rather like the mugwort handle too. Great herb, it is)

And hugging you is rather like hugging my shadow...

thank you sweet lady, for all of the grace and understanding you have shown me throughout my Pip sojourn.
