Happy Birthday Sweetheart!!

Dear sweet Sherri,

You are our beautiful ray of sunshine on W.Com,
always cheery and ready with outstretched arms
and a loving heart !
You've cheered on and boosted the confidence
of so many promising writers on the forum. How lucky we
are to be given this opportunity to add a little joy and sunshine to your
special day !

I hope you're doing something wonderful on
this day of days, dear Sherri. I thought of you when
I came across this poem sitting outside, enjoying the
first balmy spring morning With love
and warmest best for the Happiest
of Birthdays, dear Sherri,
Love, Gabriella

To an Early Daffodil by Amy Lowell

Thou yellow trumpeter of laggard Spring!
Thou herald of rich Summer's myriad flowers!
The climbing sun with new recovered powers
Does warm thee into being, through the ring
Of rich, brown earth he woos thee, makes thee fling
Thy green shoots up, inheriting the dowers
Of bending sky and sudden, sweeping showers,
Till ripe and blossoming thou art a thing
To make all nature glad, thou art so gay;
To fill the lonely with a joy untold;
Nodding at every gust of wind to-day,
To-morrow jewelled with raindrops. Always bold
To stand erect, full in the dazzling play
Of April's sun, for thou hast caught his gold.
