Five Sweet Letters For the Birthday Girl

L  egendary is her poetic soul
I   nvincible in reaching her goal
N  aughty, but she can also be nice
D  aring, with not a thought to the price
A  mbitious, she will climb to the heights

Linda…she shines in all that she writes!

Eileen Manassian Ghali

PS...Linda, HAPPY BIRTHTDAY!!!!! I wish you all the best!!! May God bless and keep you. I've so come to appreciate you during my time here. You are strong, smart, you speak your mind, you know what you want, you know how to get it, and you are fearless. Qualities I love in a woman! Also, you know how to be caring and tender when the need arises. You are a TITAN of Poetry Soup. Your name says it all. Divide and conquer. Sending you hugs on your special special day! :)

This is COOL for Linda. For PD, right? I am hoping you did another one for my contest that did not use the name of someone (just in case you were going to use this one). Anyway, I hope to see many more acrostics from you with names of all your friends!!! they are so fun to do! by the way, I also loved that last line you added at the end.

Andrea....! :) Thanks for the visit. No, this was JUST for Linda...to make her smile. My second one for that gal! About the contest...let us just keep you guessing! ;) Yes, acrostics ARE fun! :) That last night was to make the couplets come out right. Glad it added some pizzazz to the ending! Hugs!

No wonder why Irma (Linda) loves you. She's amazing. I couldn't ask for a better sister. I love her more on her bad days. From what I hear they last a few hours :) Stay Cool Eileen, you rock sweetheart.

Hi, Skat! Yes, your sister is amazing! I've always appreciated strong, ambitious, and intelligent women! :) She definitely is in that category. I look forward to getting better acquainted with you too, Skat! I struggle too, so I know where she is coming from! The ups and downs of life....Thanks for stopping by!

I'm pretty sure she could give the same testimony about you as her sister! I don't have a sister...only brothers...Must be something special!
