For CayCay On Her Special Milestone Birthday October 3rd

CayCay

A friend who is kind, wise 
      thoughtful, and generous,
A poet who speaks to the heart 
      and soul of the masses
Through her experiences of 
      this life and many others.
Her strong will encourages and 
      uplifts those around her.
A love for her family shines 
      like a beacon in the dark
Bringing joy and happiness 
      with her unconditional love.
The depth of her verse expresses 
      so eloquently her divine
Inner thoughts and desires 
      and shares how she cares.
A kindred spirit I have come 
      to know and hope our 
Friendship will continue to grow 
      and blossom over years
Of sharing sorrows and joys 
      through understanding ears.
She is a breath of fresh air 
      whose exuberance for life
Is contagious, leaving me with 
      thoughts of silver and gold.

Blessings on your birthday my friend!

Love, Connie Marcum Wong

Oh, Connie! How thoughtful of you! You are a sweetie for reminding us of CayCay's birthday. She is an amazing poetess, but she's also an amazing woman with the the gift of encouragement to boot. Happy birthday, CayCay. You have always been a blessing to me. May your year be filled with all your heart desires. :) Hugs

TWO - I ran out of room, then called Tim so he could see this precious gift wrapped in the sentiment of so many precious individuated individuals. I am truly overwhelmed and for once it is in a positive way - and, hey, don't it feel good!. I love you, Connie, and I love being your friend. I will scold you privately for taking my shyness into a 'public' arena. And in the end, the greatest gift is called a friend. I am blessed. Yi, Wow, Ah Man, I'm straight trippin' boo, and then there is thank you ... CayCay

I am shaking and crying in a good way. Nothing like this, of such a public magnitude, has ever happened to me in my life. Connie, I don't know whether to call you a brat or a dear heart, so I will call you a bratty-dear heart who has unexpectedly lifted me in a way I never expected. The poem alone is gift enough, I could take endless time just absorbing how much it means to me. I've never had anyone write me a poem. Oh my, much less a blog. I call myself a writer yet I am unable to express all the emotions running through me at the moment. Wow - you bratty dear heart - I shall never forget the moment I found this nor who initiated it and the totality of the warmth I am feeling.

Thank you, Sandra. My BD was celebrated today which is why I just found this. Tim actually 'procured' a cake for me and no man has ever done that. Tim, my Mom and son, Kyle, took me to the Civil War Museum, then to a seafood restaurant located on the James river - so I did, indeed, enjoy my birthday even though I cried at the museum - my Mom, too! Thank you, Sandra. Hugs, CayCay

You mean the world to me, as does your gentle, steady and sincere presence. You have taught me much, so now I ask yet another question: have you a clue when I'll stop shaking with whatever joy-like emotion took hold when I found Connie's blog?

You beat me to it, Mrs Connie. Happy Birthday CayCay. I was going to wait a couple of days but it looks like the cat has been let out of the bag. How does it feel to be able to legally drive now? Lol I wish you the happiest of birthdays. You are a dear sweet lady and I am proud to call you my friend.
