This is a sweet birthday poem for Sarah. You included many interesting facts about her life. It's good to learn a bit about her, as I've not yet met her on FS. Good song you included! I'm sure she'll enjoy that. Blessings. Carol

A cleverly written birthday poem for Sarah. Your writings for birthdays give us insight into the folks who are members of Fanstory. We are a huge family and with all those members...you will be in your centenary year by the time you finish @ 100 years old. I'll take over from the heavenly realms! K xx

Hahahaha! Fortunately tho, I only write for those who have been so good to review and be there for me in other ways. It is my way of saying thank you. And if someone asks me to do one for someone I don't know, then I most certainly do. I am not singling anyone out, but like you said, I may not be able to get to all of them and there are so many I have not even met yet.

But so good to hear from you, my sweet K. I always look forward to seeing you. Thanks for always a kind word for my poems, my very dear friend. And I thank you too for the generous gift of six stars too. You are the best, but then I hope you know that. Hugs with a big smile!! Love, Debi

What a sweet personal story told in rhyme! I feel like I know Sarah now. I enjoy reading true story poems so I enjoyed this one. You rhymed some tough words here, but did it well, and made it engaging throughout!

Another birthday tribute! Happy Birthday Sarah! You've certainly got a great deal of info in there, Debi, and I'm sure Sarah will be very proud. I've just written a verse about James Taylor, brought up in North Carolina and singing its praises. I'm jealous. Thanks for sharing your thoughtful verse, Debi. Take care Debbie

Lol, yes, Debbie, I have a list of everyone I wanted to write for, and that is when I saw that I had missed your birthday, I took it so hard. I didn't know the date of yours until that day when I looked and I panicked, as I didn't want to miss anyone on that list. After I get thru everyone, then I will be done, but for now, I feel that God has asked me to bring some joy into the hearts of others and do it in this way. It is such a reward, but you are right about there being a lot. Anyway, you wouldn't believe how many people here either started in North Carolina or are ending up there. Right now it is the number one state the people here retire to..

Anyway, thanks you so much for the lovely review and comments, Debbie. I always appreciate you so much and will look for your article on James Taylor. Another one of my favorites. Thanks again, my sweet friend. Love, Debi

Another cool birthday greeting, this time for Sarah Robin. To be good at bridge is saying a lot since must people have never heard of the famous game; I she played with Omar Shariff, it must have been for money. Happy Birthday to the Tennessean.

Thank you so much for the poem for Sarah! She is really well traveled and I knew about the sports and bridge but didn't realize she was snowbird who flew south for the winter. We are blessed to get to know her here!

Hi Helen, oh no I didn't mean to make it sound like she is a snowbird. LOL, but that was the last time that Robin flew was south to Texas.
She actually lives in the same building with Terry. So maybe I should look at a way to rephrase this? I change them so many times before I am completely happy, that shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks tho Hon, for your sweet comments and keeping me on my toes. One of the things I love most about you. How did your Thanksgiving turn out? It must be awesome having them with you still. Or are you ready for your house back?? Haha! Anyway thanks Sis!!

Working on getting the house cleaned up. The oldest was still sniffling and got an earache. The younger two wanted to play Monopoly for days ! We had hubby's sisters over the second day. It was busy!!

Another wonderful birthday poem introducing Sarah. Some may not know her work, but you laid the groundwork with her biography for us to discover a fascinating writer and person.
Best regards,
Mary

Hi again Mary, I am starting to think that I may get caught up after all. However it isn't so bad, because I get to mingle with my friends. I just had too many in a row, but down to my last post.

I'm not sure if I know Sarah. Is she simply known as Sarah or does she use another handle. It seems North Carolina produced a lot of talented people because I see a lot of writer are from there. I guess she went to shool in Knoxville my adopted state. I love your poem and now I going to relax and enjoy Rocky Top.

Yes, Beth, right before you started reading the poem I wrote this poem is for Sarah Robin. It was a little unusual place for me to do it, but since my first line read, like a little spring-time bird, I thought I would write her name with the poem. lol.. I am not sure how long she has been here but she lives in the same building as Terry B. But not sure how long as I haven't known her that long either.

Thanks so much for your lovely review and comments, Beth. I appreciate your generous six stars as well, my very lovely friend. Love, Debi
