I love this - I wish I had a six! Your did a stunning job on this birthday poem with your artistic presentation, your autumnal multicolored text font and that gorgeous artwork. I love writing birthday poems for friends myself, and have been doing it for years. Yours was just a breath of fresh air. I am sure the recipient will love it.

Hefty pockets full of sunshine
that last throughout the day,
Soft dribbled drops of happiness,
to add laughter on your way...

How elegant.

Thanx so much, E-M, for the encouraging review on this one -- I tried to focus on the small things that really bring a gentleness to the day whether you're alone or not, ya know? Things that can always make us smile no matter the circumstances... :) :) :) Take care out there and find your own 'sunshine and whistles' today! ;) Yvette

Your birthday wish poem is beautiful, YM. Your colored font looks super with the black background and the great image. Your words flow smoothly with great rhymes and create great imagery. Your examples of people, places, and 'things' that one would likely think about as the years pass are true, also.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan
