Maybe there was some other reason for the others being gloomy. Young people usually get into the spirit when a friend or relative celebrates a birthday. Anyway, cute poem, and as you write, others will have their time to be the center of attention. I hope this young lady had a happy birthday. Clever rhyme in this. judi

Thanks Sis need to get back to your stuff. Been busy lately. I told you about my Squamous Cell Carcinoma I think? The would is nearly all gone now. Maybe a poem on my Cancer huh! happy Christmas.

You're very welcome. Good news about that growth is almost all gone. One less worry! judi

Yeah it is gone just the scar left. We debated between calling it a Volcano and a Moon Crater. Nowadays looks more like the Jellybean Pool up in our Blue Mountains at Glenbrook, hehe.

thank you for the authors notes to explain the piece. I read it and was lost, then I read the notes and the whole piece made total sense as others do seem to have the sad face till it is their day

I always try and clarify things. Being a Tangent man sometimes I do a lot of thinking then speak and even my wife doesn't know where it came from ha! Thanks for the lovely review.

Annie bot of writing Geoff, sometimes people are so self centred they think it's all about them and their celebration, and can't bear to see someone else enjoying themselves, a very thoughtful thing to do, my friend, well done, blessings, Roy

A very well-written Christmas message for one and all of us. It is about the child born for our soul salvation, not about the gifts and expectations of man.

A well-written poem. Your words flowed nicely line to line combining easily and forming the message of the poem for the reader. Your little faces completed your poem well.

Hi, Geoff

= One thing about it, may as well make the best of 'em, because the alternative isn't so healthy.
= LOL ... heck, I've earned every gray hair in my head for 66 years. Of course, L'Oreal and Lady Clairol help to hide that fact. (*<*)

A great poem. It's nice to be able to share young people's rites of passage. I tell my wife it makes me feel young again.
I hope your health is good.
God bless.
