She was one of the first people I've met on here and she's still one I look forward to when I come on here. She's definitely made an impact on all of us and deserves nothing but the best. You did a great job and I bet she's thrilled to see this :)

Thank you for the songs and the lovely song-like poem for our Gert! Enjoyed you saying "She counts her blessings, not the miles," and that you'd like to "grow up to be like her." She'll be so thrilled!

What a most endearing birthday wish for, Gert. The bicycle with flower baskets leads right in to a finely rhymed and metred poem, that captures the essence of our celebrated poet and author.

You are always so thoughtful, Sal.

My pleasure to read and review. :))

This is fine tribute to a lovely lady. We've recently reconnect after a few years. She has Vermont roots, so that's been fun. She has that Vermont dry humor that comes through in her writings. I'm glad she & I have reconnected. Now I will wish her a happy birthday. Thank you for alerting me.

That is so lovely! She will love it. The gift of music as well as verse, and you obviously know her well enough to know her favourite colours even! I will wish her a happy birthday for sure.

I cannot think of a better gift to give a lovely lady, a poem written in celebration of her birthday.
You captured Gert, her poetry and how fellow members hold her in esteem.
Well done Sally.
Regards,
Mary
