Birthday Wishes, Tom Cunningham 2-16

I made a scrumptious chocolate birthday cake just for you
My only wish, I could deliver it, across the pond to you!

For two years straight, you stood behind me daily.
A trophy, you do deserve, not one day, but three
hundred sixty five, times two, for contacting by
comment or soup mail, you never failed me!

Such a unique poet you are, and endearing, indeed,
to so many.
Love, peppered with humility and peace, are on
your agenda daily.

Tom, you've gone way out of your way,
When I felt abysmally, horribly dismayed!

You are wise, like a philosopher, to recognize the real
poets here, from the phony.
And run from those, who post pure, arrogant baloney.

I wish you health and happiness for so many years.
Wish we could all go to a pub, raise a pint and wish
you happiness, with loving, poetic cheers!

                        Hugs from the USA,
                              Panagiota 
                              2/16/2021
