A lovely birthday poem for a fellow FanStory friend. I'm sure she will love it. The artwork you chose along with the background color is so pretty and the font is feminine and sweet. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Marilyn, I thank you so very much for your very kind words for this poem.
So I have to assume that you didn't have any suggestions to make it better must have meant that your rating of four stars was a slip of the finger. And that is ok, as it happens to all of us. But four stars wipes out a six star each time. So if that is the case, would you mind changing it to a five? It is the most accurate rating here if you find no issues. I appreciate it very much and I thank you again. Debi

I am so sorry. I am still figuring out what all the stars and everything means. I didn't realize. I will correct it.

You are so sweet. They do not make that very clear and yet some do get upset. I was not because I could tell that you meant no offense in any way. It is hard to learn the ropes in a new place, and if you have any questions, I am always only a PM, private message away. I usually welcome all the new people and don't know how I missed you. But LOL, a half year late, I am glad you are here and know we will be good friends.

I personalize and do these birthday poems for friends and reviewers as a thank you because of eye damage when I had shingles in both eyes, so I don't get to review as much as I like due to strain and limited screen time by doctors. So if you would like me to do one for you, just let me know and I would be happy to put your name on my birthday calendar. Thanks again, my sweet friend. Love, Debi

Actually my profile says I joined in August which I did but I just joined and forgot about it until about a week and a half ago when I bought a membership and began posting. Thanks for forgiving my ignorance. I went back and changed a few other 4 stars that I gave as well.

Thanks Marilyn, and remember to keep me in mind with any questions.
When I first got here I must have drove Tom crazy with all of them because I had such a hard time learning everything. You are doing great, and I will be over soon to review one of your poems. I already read the one on school shootings. Excellent! And also I will fan you at that time. Welcome again!!!

We are blessed to have your smiling face and generous heart on FS. Each time you write a tribute to someone, it makes us want to know this person too. Suewrites sounds like someone who faces life's strife, but keeps walking with her head held high. Bravo!Happy Birthday to Sueswrite and may she be blessed with love and happiness.
Smiles, Carol

To receive a missive like this, even a guy like me who no longer celebrates birthdays personally. I would be bowled over by such a tribute. It is personable, touching and very sweet. You are really a master of these tributes and I could not possibly be more proud of you than I already am. Great job sis.

She sounds like a wonderful person I should get to know. Some how, I have missed her but I will be looking her up. She shares some of my passions with is art, photography and writing. Your poem is especially lovely.

I love all of you birthday poems but I dare say, this is the most beautiful one I've read so far. I loved the imagery and the sweetness to it. If I had a six, it would be yours. Happy birthday to Sue. Gretchen

This is a beautiful gift to a friend from all well wishers.
It is nicely phrased and flows well as it unfolds a brief history of the one for whom it is written.
Pleasant reading is always a pleasure.
Happy birthday, Gifted Lady.
RJ

Debi dear,
Another beautiful birthday poem and tribute. I have never met Sue, unfortunately, but now I simply must. She sounds like a real overcomer who has pursued her own happiness. I always love hearing stories of siblings/families being reunited. It's the sweetest story around.

Happy Birthday, Sue! Blessings for a wonderful day and many good years ahead. I'm so excited to hear about the reunion with your sister.

Sending love and hugs across the miles to you both!
Sal Xoxo!

Sueswrites has been a FS for quite a while. She is always considerate in her reviews and is terrific writer.

You did her an honor with your fabulous poem! I'm sure she's all smiles!

Enjoy the day...
