Kari, since you’ve come to us
with open heart and sweet smiles
you've made our own hearts sing with glee
to know you across the miles
Distance doesn’t really matter
it’s closeness of the heart that counts
and when it comes to birthdays
we’re so happy to announce
That your very own special day
complete with gifts and cake
is meant to bring you laughter
for all our merry sakes
So light up all the candles
bring out the chips and beer
we’ll celebrate the whole day through
and into the night with cheer
And just to make sure you’re around
next July for another hoop-dee-doo
bend over so we can give you swats
we’ll toss in some hugs and kisses too
Happy Birthday, Kari !!! from Granna
July 14th

Lovely rhyme, this was a nice tribute and birthday poem Good luck in the contest.
Thanks for your comment. I don't think our Armageddon will come in our lifetime or that it will be an unnatural one. I think it'll be the earth going into the sun as the sun gets bigger.
