Joyce Johnson - Centenarian Extraordinaire

Dear Joyce, you've reached a milestone attained by very few! I reJoyce at this accomplishment and offer my congrats to you! Joining the elite Centenarian Fraternity is indeed very rare; I hope you enjoy many more years of writing is my ardent prayer! Your poetry flows from your talented quill like honey from a jar! You've set high standards for others and raised high the poetic bar. Your encouragement and support for me I shall ever treasure; Reading your inspirational verse has given me many hours of pleasure. When your work on earth is o'er, God will reward you with a crown, Saying, "Welcome Joyce, you served Me and My people with great renown!" Entry for Carolyn Devonshire's "Happy 100th Birthday" Contest

Bob, what a wonderful tribute to a very fine poet and a great lady. She has been a huge support and encouragement to me and many others over the years. If I'm around 25 more years, maybe a few kind words will be said about me.

Thank you, Curtis. Hang in there buddy. Don't know - hopefully I'll be around to contribute some kind words but since, I'm now going on 88, chances are pretty slim. Joyce has been a great mentor to me and many others. Keep on crankin' out your delightful verse - Bob
