I always look forward to your birthday poems because they are creatively packed full of information about fellow FanStorians that we might never know from reading their posts. One example for Teri is her grand-chicken. I had to enlarge my screen to make sure I read that right. Lol.
Even though Teri struggles with a disorder, her life sounds full of love and joy.
To Teri: I hope you have a very enjoyable day as God continues to grants you the desires of your heart. I wish you peace, strength and the knowledge that you are loved here on FanStory.

Hahahaha! Yes, Lorraine, you saw it right. A grand~chicken. I love that she included that in her notes, because it is classic~Teri, whom everyone adores. And how original too. I hope everyone else got a kick out of it too.
Thanks so much and I know Teri will love reading yours and all the other great wishes for her. Love, Debi

Another wonderful birthday tribute to what sounds like a very sweet and generous person. I did have a bit of trouble with the flow, but that may have just been a "me problem" (lol).

Hi Monica, did you have trouble with the flow because of changing back and forth from the eight syllables to the fourteen syllables, which is what
Merry~go~Rhymes are about?
I do have to admit, in order to get the info in there and make it rhyme and do it to make sense and with meter is so extremely difficult, but most people think that it flows beautifully. I, myself tho felt a little stumble on a couple parts that were almost impossible to fit at all. Like about Jonathon, wife and son was a lot for a short line, but I can't spread it out further or the poem gets too long.
But I appreciate knowing where you had the most difficult so I can see if it is possible to work on it.
Thanks so much, Sweetie. Appreciate your honesty and look forward to your reply. Love, Debi

Hi, Debi -
I understand how hard it is with certain types of poems. For example, I can't write a sonnet to save my life (LOL).
The parts I had trouble with (and again it may just be me) were the 2nd stanza, as well as the lines that begins with "When she's cleaning...", "She's worked...", and the phrase "grand - chicken". I do have a suggestion on that last one, though. I was thinking maybe "grand - chick" instead. Just a thought, and my opinion. It is a really good poem, though, all in all.
All My Love!

Thanks Sweetie, yes first you have to pronunciate every single syllable with my poetry. And you need to pause where the commas are when reading my longer lines. When you do that, it flows like butter.
However the MGR can sometimes be hard to go from the eight syllable to fourteen back and forth if you aren't used to it.
Grand chick would not work because it doesn't have the correct meter and syllable count. I would love to hear if you read them again the way I told you if it would make a difference. I owe you for being so honest, as I love the feedback and the chance to explain how it should be read.

Thanks for the advice, my dear friend. I will go back and give it another read following your advice. Have a blessed and safe day.

From your awesome poem it sounds as if Teri has known pleasure and pain in equal measure. I am certain that in you she has found a profound treasure. Your kind words offered in tribute most sincere, is guaranteed to lift any spirit burdened by misfortune.

Oh thank you so very much, Teri. Please look at it again as I forgot to add the first part that was in my head to add. And I hope you weren't insulted at all about the little joke at the end. It was all meant in fun. Please look it over and let me know. Also here is a link to it if you would like to send to your kids.

I feel happy but yet sadly for Teri, she loves the Lord with all her heart, and yet she needs healing badly, sometimes one has to accept that He loves them completely, and it takes faith to do that, so she's a phenomenal woman in God, well done, great tribute, blessings Roy

Hi Roy, this time I think I have a handle on my thank you messages as I am doing it before I am so tired. Thanks for the kind words for Teri and her poem. You area so appreciated. Love, Debi

Good idea

Because my lupus and Teri's MS are sister diseases, some days are hard to keep going and yet we have to keep trying or get too far behind. Staying up all night like a teen for a test the next day doesn't work anymore. So need to start being a little more careful with my health and sleep for now on. Thanks again Roy.

I completely understand, I have no issue at all dear girl, bless you both

Debi dear,
What a GRAND BIRTHDAY POEM for our Teri! She's such a dear with a big heart for everyone and the cats, all creatures, really, and especially a heart for God.
Happy Birthday, Teri dear! God bless you richly, deeply with every God gift from the Fqther of Heavenly light. James 1:7. You are very loved, Teri, here and everywhere, I know, and as you say to me--God loves us more!
Love & Blessings to you both across the miles.

This merry-go-round poem, Teri's Perfect Birthday, has a magical sense as the formatting rolls out and we see Teri's life gallop by. It is another neat sendup for one of our great Fanstorians from another.

This is a perfectly fun read about our dear Teri and her birthday. Teri is a special lady and she has blessed my life so many times with the beautiful things that she writes. She also blesses my life when she talks about her love for her cats. But her love for the Lord is very outstanding and I wish her a very happy and wonderful birthday. Patricia.
