Three decades have come and gone
And this birthday, I’m going strong
I’ve lived dreams, once beyond my reach
I’m richly blessed because of each
I’ve risen from challenge and pain
And found the strength to go again
Once a preemie, willed to fight
I stand today, my future bright
Through thirty years, I’ve lived a lot
Some times were grand; others were not
I’ve made a difference, in my way
O’er the years that led to this day
Thanks to my poems, I’ve moved the soul
I have touched hearts and made some whole
My own heart has been humbled too
By the dreams I’ve been blessed to do
Three decades in my life, this day
Thirty years quickly passed away
But left behind, memories made true
Each one is special, thanks to you
Your faith in me makes life worthwhile
Therefore, I’ll spend this day in style
Looking back, I've much to behold
What will the next thirty years hold?

May the Lord Bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and walk by your side. With love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister Barbie.
As one who has traversed those next 30 years, your future is bright as your writing and you will be famous if a big storm surge doesn't come, Texas City doesn't blow up--again, and this old economy doesn't turn to anarchy.
Your colleague up the road,
Ron
