I know Tom will be delighted with this poem you have created for him. What life he has had. I'm sorry I could not reward you a six star but they are all used up But my reward to you is a ten star plus. Love and best wishes NanaGaye

Hi, Debbie. Beautiful image. Whose image is that? Yours? You should give credit if it's not yours

I couldn't read your poem. The font was too small. And, if I enlarge the font, I can't see the whole line of the poem.

So, I'm gonna drop it here. Good luck with your post.

Thank you for sharing.

Hi Pam, whenever I don't credit the art, it is usually one I find in a box of old ones that I have from old magazines. Otherwise I do credit them. For instance if you look at the one I have out called no no no no, it says that it is my granddaughters art.
Also if you look at my font, hon, it is as large as it can be to fit into these boxes. However, that is the problem with the biographical poems, the lines are more syllables and they it would look tacky to put it into two lines, so most are able to make it larger by spreads with their fingers, but you might try that. This is a birthday poem for Tom, so I am sure he will appreciate your kind review too. Thanks! Debi

Yes, Santha, but what movie was it from. I have been racking my brain but don't want to google it because I figured you might know it. Do you remember, how deep is your love and what movie? I love the beegees, and all of them I guess too. So many of us came from about the same era.

And you are right, that is cool that Tom's twin boys were born in different months?
Thanks for the fun review as it is always so good to see you.
thanks again with all my heart. Love ya!! Debi

Very nice image and presentation, Debi. You did a good job with the poem. Many good examples about Tom, his background, and family. A good introduction, followed by the birth of their children. I guess one twin wanted to be first to greet the world. It's ironic he lived in Alaska and hates the cold.

Congratulations on your retirement and your birthday, Tom. Hope it is a good one up there in northern Alaska. Hope the fish are biting!!!

That's amazing, twins on different months, how unique and after five daughters. They would have been busy. A lovely birthday presentation for Tom, and an interesting read. Beautifully done Debi and happy birthday to Tom.
Cheers

I dare say, that's a lovely speckled trout in the picture you chose, not a salmon... HAHAHAHA!!! But I might very wll be wrong, it's been so long since I went fishing for salmon OR trout. LOL. Besides which, I never caught a salmon, so what do I know?

What a fun poem for Tom, Debi!

It is a trout, but it was the nicest picture I could find to go with his poem, so I grabbed it. But LOL, you are the first person to say anything about it and I think that is hilarious. Especially because I purposely wanted to see who was paying attention. Haha. You are the winner, Dawn!!
Thanks for the fun review my friend. You are awesome. lol, even Tom didn't say anything. Good eye, my dear!!
Love, Debi
