    Thanx so much, Barb, 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, my friend! ;) Yvette

Lovely! Whimsical and fresh: pockets full of sunshine ... alliteration: dribbled drops ... whispers whistles. A fine entry for the B-Dat book. Cheers. LIZ

Ah ha, original greeting card verse! I like the second stanza, since music is definitely a powerful element. Nice job including the birthday girl, er lady and feelings we'd all like to have on every birthday, such as love and thankfulness. And those 'friendships dear' are a bonus on a birthday.

An excellent birthday card. Well versed and illustrated I like the last stanza the best. "Of friendships dear, both here, and gone..." An excellent birthday wish. Well done.

    Thank you for focusing on the "small things" that bring "gentleness to the day" and make us smile. More smiles- Joan
