Just another birthday, I can see it now
Lots of happy wishes coming your way
I bet it makes you feel old, Ann
Even though it’s your special day
I had planned on catching a plane
Just to share a nice cold brew
As I counted what’s left in my pocket
There wasn’t enough for two
So here’s a silent toast instead
From one old friend and all the rest
Hoping it’s your best birthday yet
‘Cuz, dear friend, you are the best
So have a Happy Birthday, Ann
You’re still not a day over twenty-nine
Blow out all your candles, I’ll help you out
If you promise to help me with mine
Happy birthday to a wonderful lady and friend, AnnD

That's a really nice poem for your friend. I like the part about counting what's in your pocket and coming up short. I find myself in that situation quite often.
Hope she had a happy birthday yesterday.

Aw Granna, this is so totally perfect
I think that all of us wish that we could be there to celebrate with her

Oh Dee, this birthday poem is so precious, Ann is a lucky lady to have you as a friend
Best wishes dear friend and happy holidays

Sentimental indeed
Dee, you've always got a nice poem going. Friendly word-choice as well. Nice work.
Peace Love & Light,
Jay

ah... Ann will love this. Wonderful, appropriately sentimental write.

Awww thankyou Dee, this is so lovely, and I promise to help blow out the candles with you too, but i fear we would have to have a lil tipple afterwards to get our breath back when we were done.
You are such a dear sweet friend and Sister.... love you loads.

Sweet
I laughed at "If you promise to help me with mine", because I had some uncounted number of candles on my cake yesterday, and had to snatch an extra breath.
This is a sweet and happy birthday poem, I enjoyed it!
Best wishes to Ann!
