Birthday Wishes, Without Loving Family Memories Life Is Devoid

Without Loving Memories Life Is Devoid So your pretty face turned forty today My how sweet time races far away Give yourself a gift of love this way and write in poetic verse and play! Look back at the life you have enjoyed The burning candles that lit your way Without loving memories life is devoid Have a blessed birthday I pray! Robert J. Lindley. 09-05-2015 NOTE- A Tribute poem, DEDICATED TO A GREAT LADY AND GREAT POETESS! Our own Andrea that celebrates her birthday today!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now poem presented below, complete with the birthday lady's replying verse! Thanks my friend, for honoring my request to add verses and being a good sport about the poem and the age teasing lyrics. Without Loving Memories Life Is Devoid So your pretty face turned forty today My how sweet time races far away Give yourself a gift of love this way and write in poetic verse and play! Look back at the life you have enjoyed The burning candles that lit your way Without loving memories life is devoid Have a blessed birthday I pray! Good sir, for being close to me in age, you know that we cannot forever be age 40, but if we write poetry, the chance is better we can live stress-free! Let's play with words, with rhythm and with rhyme. Life's candles that we lit have left a glow. Our memories in poems live on through time, and we might both be 90 for all they know! Robert Lindley and Andrea Dietrich 9/7/2015
