When I was lonely
skype brought your voice, soft
as the moonlight.
When I was frustrated at Allpoetry
your quips brought me warmth as real
as our Range fire in winter.
When I was harassed by others
you sent smileys and gems of wisdom
to brighten my night's vigil.
When I was serious
you smiled ten thousand miles
'Ron, lighten up,' and I did!
When I was aggrieved
your email shed light into my dark
and I laughed, with you, at myself.
When I was confused
your voice again spoke of calm,
led me to dream
of the goddess you are.
[Happy, happy birthday, Gennelle.]
Author notes
Gennelle is owed a lot by many, I assume. This is my genuine homage to her upon the auspicious occasion of her birthday: Grow young!

Oh my.. this is so lovely, Ron! 
Thank you for your wonderful heart and thoughtfulness, my friend.. I fear I have neglected some of my best pals here of late - thank you for reminding me what I've missed

Great tribute
Our Gennelle is that, indeed. This is a beautiful expression of what her friendship means to you and all whom she has touched with her wisdom. Many blessings to you, and many happy returns for her birthday.
