Joyce

Joy is found in the name of Joyce, our beloved poetess friend.

Only one who lives life well can happily reach their one-hundredth year.

Young at heart is she!  Faithful, generous, and

Charming as can be is our Joyce, dear -

Evermore to be a soul that friends and family revere. 


A Quintain for Joyce Johnson, a wonderful woman here who has experienced a very rich and full life. It's so good to know you, Joyce! May you have many other Happy Birthdays to come.

This is nice Andrea. I thought of doing an acrostic too, but ended up with a narrative instead. How wonderful it is that Joyce is able to be so active and enjoying life. She is a beloved poet. ; )
