the very best birthday

66

Even though the temperature never got out of the thirties,

even though it rained most all day

and was bitingly cold,

even though my numbers are getting really up there,

I was warmed to the heart by my own special day.

Every phone call, 

card, 

e-mail, 

gift,

happy birthday song sung,

and facebook message

went right to the place that makes me smile.

I am so amazingly blessed.

Love, Love, Love 

all of you who made my day so special.
