though you act so silly in over eighty six million
different ways
your letters were always there to cheer me on those
dark and dismal days
my heart knew yours before we ever met
you're more important to me than any mere lover yet
you're a forever kind of man
men like you are in great demand
this is your birthday poem
written in full truth and sincerity
this is to show you how much you really mean to me
if we should go our seperate ways
think of me as a girl who loved you in a place out of
time
and expressed as much in her letters and rhymes
I love you John Robert
celebrate your birthday in full color
and may God bless us both
(written Nov 1989)
