This is a wonderful tribute to Helen. She is an amazing person and you've captured her caring and kindness in your verse. She encourages us all to be and be better, and set an example we could all follow.

Helen certainly deserves this poem and all the praise that comes with it. I enjoyed the nod to other Helens and seeing the photos. A lot of work went into this entry.
I found the swirly/curly text a tad hard to read. I got a chuckle from the fourth stanza when, at first glance, it read as 'Two daughters and her special HEN.'
Thanks for writing.

Oh that text really is hard to read, but its so pretty. However it doesn't hen,
It says her special Hon, as in her husband.
Sorry about that! LOL- I will check it out to make sure.
Thanks so much my dear friend.

Very nice tribute. I especially loved the kitty birthday video. I was actually surprised that I knew several of the Helens you wrote about. I admire how you know so much about our fellow FanStorians, their birthdays, backgrounds, etc. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Excellent poem for my good friend, Helen. You describe her well. I have seen her picture. She is beautiful inside and outside. I wrote a poem for her too but in a korean sijo form. Thank you, this is a wonderful birthday poem.

Hello dear friend! Actually Helen is one of my closest friends here so l have seen pictures of her and her family. But I liked the way it sounded and outside of a few most don't even even realize that she was Asian. And she is beautiful, I agree,
Thanks for the find words for her and her poem.

These wonderful women, most especially our beloved Helen from FS. Give honor, blessings and sainthood to the name Helen. All were accomplished in their own way. However, none have found the revered spot in our hearts the way Helen of FS does. You continue to amaze us, your readers, with your awesome ability to compose such great tributes.
