Birthday poetry


I loved everyone's birthday's greetings but I must say that Tracy Scoggins wrote me a terrific little poem Thanks Tracy!

To My Friend Claudia on her Birthday

I've googled famous birthday poems
Read all and none will do
It's seems that Burns and Wilde and Yeats
Had not a friend like you

So fair of face and fast of mind
With steely will asserting
Yet a sweet scarred heart makes tireless time
For others who lie hurting

How sad for them, the poets past
Whose tomes my shelves bow stacking
They never supped with one like you
Alas, their mates were lacking

Your sister on terra firma, in space, and beyond,
Tracy
