| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 05/26/06 at 06:23 PM What a sweet Birthday poem, and great way of reinforcing your love and support for that someone special. I had no idea what this was building up to when I first started reading it, although when I saw the title, I thought it might be someone's age. :o) |

| Posted by Sarah Graves on 05/28/06 at 10:49 PM A unique way to show your affections, and to put them into words. There seems to be very potent emotions put into this, and that is conveyed very well to the reader. Great read :) |

| Posted by Julie Adams on 05/30/06 at 04:34 PM a beautiful capture of life in this poem, the snicker, the muffled comment, the slight whisper that threatens to expose, but for the cowards who utter them...well well done...your breaks are wonderful too, powerful...peace, *jewels* |
