Birthday Joy Along Her Way

by Debi Pick Marquette



She's filled with grace, a sacred place

It's where her humble, dear heart lives

Her faith in God shows on her face

With love that she so freely gives 


Her dad a preacher, she held dear

Her three siblings, five years apart

Mom's church piano, played by ear

Just memories now in her heart


Her Leon~Sixty five year mate

Kids~Dennis, Debra, joy of life

Her four grandchildren, seven greats

Most loved~(Great) Grandma, mom and wife


North Carolina is her home

An English teacher when she taught 

When not writing, she's thinking poem 

The teacher in her, still in thought


She loves her family and Lord

Chocolate, hymns, walks with Leon

Her music, writing, never bored

Old movies, list goes on and on


******************

So let's go to Verna's Partay

Such birthday joy along the way

We'll read her book without delay

Where wisdom, joy and love portray

She's loved by all ~ was a survey

But one more thing we need to say

Dear Verna, have a Great Birthday
