Hi Debi, it's great to know a little more about yourself. I'm so glad you're sharing this with us in your wonderful poem. I'm so sorry you're struggling with Lupus. I didn't know that, but you seem determined not to let it define your life. A hug, Ulla xcx

    Hi there Ulla, yes, I have struggled with lupus since my last child was born and that has been forty years now. So drs pretty much call me bionic woman as so many things have been replaced and affected. However, I am still here, so therefore am blessed. Writing does help me to try to forget some of the pain, and having friends like you only make it better.

    But sorry I have fallen a little behind again, but I always try to catch up as I do appreciate every review that comes my way. So thank you so very much for your lovely comments for my World poem, my dear friend. Love, Debi

A beautiful poem, just like its subject! The refrain is so effective and catchy! You always have such a musical vibe to your poetry, and I find myself singing along! What I love most is the insight you provide us with; you are someone worth knowing. Much enjoyed, as always my lovely Debi!

    Hello there, my sweet Jess! You are such a sweetheart. Thank you so very much. So many kept asking me to do something about me, and as much as I am a sharer, I just thought I would keep it low key. However, I cannot wait till yours this year. I am already planning something special for you. If I remember right it is in the end of April, right? Thanks also for the generous stars. I saw we were dancing cheek to cheek again, so let's try to get you back up there again in the ranks.
    So I will do my part to try to help you. I just get so far behind that I sometimes forget. Thanks again, my precious friend.
    Love you to pieces!! Debi

Hi Debi,
so happy I was here to read this beautiful poem... what a stunning presentation indeed!

I love your attitude, faith and your very caring heart... that's what shines through the most for me... and then I look up in the corner of the page and see your smiling face and eyes, which makes me in turn, smile from inside-- out.

Of course, it would be very remiss of me to not mention your trade mark rhyme, flow and meter... as usual, beautiful and on point.

So glad you took a breath and wrote one for and about yourself.... I enjoyed it so!

With our thoughts we create...
an inside view.

Warmest regards,
James.

First off, love the picture. Let's not kid ourselves, there are a few wankers on here, but most really are loving kind helpers.

I like how much help several of ladies have given me on this site with editing. I feel like I have been schooled properly. Ha!

Great tribute to yourself, family and the site.

You are a treasure.

This is a beautiful poem of your life. You cover so many aspects of it, making it feel full and rounded. The tone is optimistic and hopeful. The repetitive first line of each stanza is very effective. Well done! Julie.

I love reading your beautiful poetry. I love it that I have a friend who is colorblind to prejudice and looks on the positive side not letting her physical problems define her. I love that Heaven is her goal and that if we never get to meet in person on this earth, there will be an eternity in which to solve that problem. I love that you consider me a part or your second family here on FanStory.

    Beth, sorry this took me a couple days to get back to you, but I saw and read it right away and was so very touched by this lovely review. Thank you with all my heart for your sweet comments. And I love that I have a friend in you who has the same values and hopes for eternity. I love all my friends, but it is comforting to know who we will see it Heaven someday. Bless you for being the kind hearted woman you are. Love you to pieces my friend, and I do thank you also for the gracious gift of six stars, Sweetie!

Hi Debi,
I like the repetition and circular rhyme scheme. The poem flows well and
tells us about all the parts of your life and about how faith gives you the strength to deal with life's problems. It is good to see you
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great weekend
Joan

-Very nice artwork and presentation, Debi.
-I think it is hard to write about ourselves,
but you did a good job and I am glad you
honored the request of those asking you do do it.
-I like how you have a different segment in each verse.
-Your first verse is very good, showing your love of poetry.
-We also learn about your family and your health,
and "look for positivity."
-Your faith is strong, and we know you care deeply about others.
-I agree with your conclusion that FanStory is
"A world wide second family."
-I enjoyed reading your poem; you did a good job.

    Pam, you are so incredibly sweet and l appreciate so very much all of your lovely comments and your generous six stars. You're so special and I appreciate you so very much. I am hoping to start reviewing a little more and coming your way, after I see my eye surgeon again. I write most of my work on paper as my allotted screen time is limited. I barely have enough time to thank people.
    (I suppose it would help if I wasn't so long winded) LOL.. So thank you again, my very dear friend. Love, Debi
