Hello Christine
Happy Birthday, a few days late, but birthdays should be birthweeks
or maybe even birthmonths,
To be healthy and happy is the greatest gift
Great picture, too
Happy birthtime.
Robert

"Birthday 66", is an extremely well written and heart-warming piece. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. To me, this is a six, but I only have fives left. You KEEP WRITING and I'll KEEP READING. I look forward to seeing your next post.
