For Joyce's 100th Birthday

Happy Birthday Darling !
Cheers to your first one hundred years.
You're loved, honored and respected
by all your poetry peers.

Hope this day is special,
just like you are to us
and if this greeting makes you smile.
for me, that would be a plus.

You are a joy and a wonder,
someone to emulate and uphold
and I feel so very blessed to know
you and your heart of gold.

Yes indeed it made me smile. I answered it last night but my computer wouldn't send it so am trying again. You re invited to my birthday on July 8 . My birthday is the 7th but I couldn't get the park buildings at Mount Vernon on that day. We are having the tulip tour this month so the roads are almost stalled. Love, Joyce

Thank you dear Francine. Your poem is so precious. I know you don't live too far away up there in Canada. We are having our tulip tour here in the Skagit Valley and the roads are jammed. Wish you could come to my birthday in July. Joyce

Joyce's first century has been filled with such accomplishment and love that I cannot wait to see what the next hundred years have in store. A lovely tribute to a very special lady, Francine. Congratulations on your win in a highly competitive contest!
