Wow! This a beautiful poem for our resident Mermaid, Elaine. She had quite the imagination and I can understand how it helps her in work with Alzheimer's patients. What a calling in this world.

Elaine, Happy Birthday! I hope you're having a wonderful day below the sea with all your friends. Party on, Mermaids! I hope it's splashing good fun.

Sending you both my very best and love & blessings always,
Sally by the Sea XOs

You've written another wonderful birthday poem full of personal details, humour and affection. I loved the additional internal rhymes in the last stanza. It felt playful and fun.

Debi, this is another beautifully written birthday tribute to an obviously smart and talented woman. I also love the artwork. Her dedication to the patients under her care is admirable. Well done. Terry.

It's sad that she was only with her partner for sixteen years, that's far too short a time. Another excellent birthday poem, Debi. I really enjoyed reading it.

This and Rics poem made me chuckle at the end. Such light hearted humor to end with. I'm not familiar with Elaine's work so I will check it out. Happy birthday to Elaine and happy birthday to you, the birthday wish queen. Gretchen

Thank you, Debi. You are amazing! This is a wonderful and fun birthday poem. Love the line "but she has creativity, runs in her ancestry". So true.
I am coping the poem for keeps! So nice of you to write these poems, you are an inspiration of positivity! I also like the videos. Of course, The Little Mermaid is one of my favorites.

    Hi Elaine, you are a doll. I love when birthday people have such excitement when they see theirs. It just makes it all so worth it. So thank you with all my heart for loving it or and I add a link for you to use to send it to your nieces and nephews or anyone to get the full experience with videos, if you would like. Thanks again, and here is the link.

    Hi Carol, I have been meaning to tell you that I had your name on my list of people to ask about a poem since before I even knew who you were. I had the list from Helen, and then when new friends came I would ask if they would want one for themselves. I never do them without permission, so when I saw you were back and reviewing me, I knew we would be friends.
    I have you for Sept 4th and all I need is for you to say yes or no before then. The information is how little or much that you want share. But we that a week before..

    Thanks so much for sweet and kind things you said for Elaines poem. It means the world to me.

Sheez... I gotta get out more often. I remember Mermaids writing from my first stint here on FS (2009-2016). Yet I haven't read her since I've been back (mia culpa).

A nice tribute to her and her writing. I'm sorry to hear of the loss of her husband!

This poem will definitely bring a smile to her face as is the essence of your birthday poetry.

Enjoy your day...
John

This is so sweet and I didn't know a lot about what you shared about Elaine as we may interact a few times a year but I know she's a lovely believer and am thankful to know her! Thanks for another great birthday tribute!
