happy birthday, j!


Though from Port Orchard she did defect,

On this, her birthday, I must reflect

Back to when our town was her choice

And the first time I ever heard j's voice.

That was the beginning

Of a friendship so winning

That 35 years down the road

I truly treasure it like pure gold.

Golden Girls--ah, the BVG's!

We're a little like them, if you please:

Dorothy, Sophia, Blanche, Rose,

We embody their camaraderie, I suppose.

Their show got canceled but reruns live on,

Even after three of the actresses are gone.

We appreciate their humor, how they face life,

How they pull together even in strife.

That's how we've done it over the years,

Sharing our joys, soothing each other's tears.

And always our j has encouragement for us,

Lifting us all up without any fuss.

So thank you, j, and bless you this day,

From your Sisters, with love, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
