She's picked some good songs and served to protect her country. Hope she writes stories from her experiences. Very nice salute to her, her family, her attitude toward the far north, and the move to Texas.

Sorry, no sixes. But you really don't need them, you get so many. I've said this before, and this poem again proves my opinion, you really do rant with the best on site. Two things in particular stand out about your writing, First, you have great taste in the music you choose to accompany your verses. Second, your lyrics and rhyme flow with such ease. As a poet I'm jealous, as a reader, I'm delighted every time.
Question, is Marquette French and is it pronounced market.
I love reading your work.

    Hi there Bob, well don't spread that rumor around too much about me getting so many sixes. After all a girls got to get whatever she can. But if I had the choice between a Bob Cullen review or a six from just anybody, I'll take the Bob review. For some reason, you can make me laugh more than anybody else here. However, do have some bad news. I do not pick the songs and the videos. They are picked by the birthday or tribute people. I always let them have their way, but I am glad that they are good ones. I appreciate your wonderful compliments and Marquette is French but it's pronounced like bar get. Thank you again for all the wonderful comments. I sure appreciate them.
    Love, Debi

Well here it is Saturday night and I haven't spent any time with Van story. I know shame on me. I probably should be kicked out. Lol I just stopped by to see if I could see a few of the very very best and this is one of them. Thanks for Sharing, sister!

    Hey dear brother, I never have talked to you since your birthday and find out how that worked going to help others on your birthday i was very proud of you. I hope you had some fun after all. I thought for sure I would hear from you when you got home. As you can see I have been really busy too.
    Thanks for your awesome reviews and six stars dear bro. So appreciated. Love, Debi

    See, you were right. You have heard from me. I am back from Samaritans purse. It was a very heartwarming experience filled with unique challenges and new friends. You're most welcome for the six stars.

It sounds like Cecilia has had quite and an adventure filled life so far. So many people I know are fed up with California and are moving to Texas, Two of my friends just this week.

Thank you, Debi, for introducing me to another member! I have not encountered her before. If she's in Texas, how is she only 15 miles from you? I guess she's moved to MN?
I especially liked:
"And though she gardens, her writing is where she'll plant her seeds"

    Hi Helen, LOL, this is the last three lines of the first stanza that will explain;

    Then she lived 15 miles from me, where winter's make you frown
    'Cause its so fiercely cold out here, you want to hibernate
    She's moved to Gunter, Texas (she was smart) and doing great,

    And thank you for that sweet compliment. I made it up when I tried to put too much in a line, and I thought this sounds really good. So I used it.
    Oh, hon, I have been so busy that I am overwhelmed and not gotten your way to review anything since I have been back and now Maria Josie has me doing a poem for her husband for the fourth but I have a break after that and I will find you then. Thanks again for the sweet comments, love ya, Debi

I'm already a fan of Cecilia, she is a Christian too, and I know we have compared notes about her pit bull terrier and my younger daughter's Rottweiler, they are both the most beautiful dogs, thank you for writing a birthday poem for her, she must be grateful as anything Debi, beautifully written, blessings Roy

I really enjoyed this birthday tribute. I just recently met Cecilia when she read and reviewed my Halloween story and became a fan. She has had a very interesting life, including the military. As a retiree from the Dept. of Veterans Affairs, where I was Women Veterans Coordinator, I admire her.

We all appreciate the way you get to know our family members, and introduce them to us in poetry. It shows you are in constant contact with FanStorians at all times, and have spent time thinking about each one of us in order to post a tribute. Thank you.

To Cecilia...Welcome to FanStory. I hope you had a happy birthday, and will have a delightful time on this site.

another great birthday tribute. Have you met in person? Since she is so close to you, and where exactly are you anyway? I like these birthday tributes I know I mentioned it before but you should set up a substack account and post them there. and if you do use zamzar to turn them into MP3 and then podcast there or at Spotify for free.

This is a great birthday greeting for Cecilia, and I hope she had a wonderful day. I'm sure she's honored to received your lovely words. It's great that she served in the Navy and then the U.S. Postal System. I especially like your line about planting her seeds in her writing. Blessings. Carol
