Sound the whistles and ring the bells! Kate B. is celebrating a birthday today! :-)
My gift to you is words: Each one is selected with you in mind. All of them clamor to be chosen, but I only need a few to celebrate the wonder that you are.
My gift to you is words: Freely given in appreciation From one Poet's heart to another - Each in a glittering box So you'll always have something to open.
My gift to you is words: I cannot begin to express my thanks For opening up my horizons And for teaching me to fly - Let us spread our wings and tickle the sun.

Reviews of "Tickle the Sun (For Kate B.: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!)"
...truly, what can I say, Karla?! I am honestly totally blown away by such beauty and the awesome tribute which I can scarcely believe is to me, sat here so far away in my little English study. Your words are the most priceless gift which I shall treasure always, and I have taught you nothing that is not a reflection of the amazing richness of gifting that already lies within yourself. I am but a mirror in which you perhaps see something of your own face. This poem is like a precious oil that is slowly trickling into my heart and soul and I have scarcely felt so wonderfully loved or appreciated, one friend to another. Your gift to me today imparts more than you can ever know, but I hope you can get just a flavour of it now. For one who is usually so verbose, I feel inadequate to comment. Thank you - and all of you who have endorsed Karla's thoughts here. Moved?! I am SHAKEN AND STIRRED to the core. I love you all - and that's no hype, I promise! I have become a parody of my own post today. (And - what do you know?! I HAVE found the words to express something of what I'm feeling!) Let's go do it - that sun is in for an absolute ROLLICKING!! :)) LOLOLOL xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox Kate xx

Christmas - only days away; plastic snowmen and glowing reindeer adorn the lawns of neighborhoods all across America. All is calm, all is bright, and yet there is something tragically wrong about this Christmas night.
