Happy Birthday, May Baby

It’s been a tough year for you, Linda-Marie
Surgery and recuperation take time
The Soup clan still prays for your recovery
Our prayers, like loving hymns, to the heavens climb

This year on your birthday you’ll kiss your sweet beau
Another candle means you'll have strength to grow
How blessed you are to have a birthday in May
Revel in happiness each year and each day

Hi Carolyn, Hope this message finds you in good spirits and health, thank you for your kind comments over the years, I have been ill myself and haven't posted the many poems I have, I have put a proposal out there for some help in completing my third book, offering a 20% interest in my new series of books, but as you know the devil doesn't like God's works to be comoleted, I hope that you are getting better and say prayres for you evryday that the Lord will keep you amongst us, people need the poems that you so eloquently write. God bless Robert your friend.
