A Poem for Gwyn

A poem for Gwyn - but where to begin?

What comes to my mind is that she's so kind.

She is quick with advice - for us that's so nice.

When our troubles we tell - she says all will be well.

When we say we are down - she erases our frown.

She knows us so well - it's easy to tell.

When confused and we cry - she'll explain and say why.

If it's too big a task - she'll say who to ask.

Then our load she will lighten, our day she will brighten.

When sad with our cares - our problems she shares.

She's a talented poet (Don't we all know it?)

There's loads on her Blogs - some even for dogs!!

But now I must end. My thanks, Gwyn, I send.

Time you had your own poem, Gwyn. Hope you like it.

Love from Solange :-)

Hi Wendy,

I didn't think I would have time to comment as I am off to York in a mo to take my granddaughter back to uni...Tony is busy packing the car up (such a lot to take) I am pleased to say I have serious competition haha (that was the idea to get people writing.. but not about me though)...but It is an honour..... I know how much it cost Solange with her time.. as she is busy with her husband's bad foot thank you for your lovely comments love x G x :-)

Aww Annie,

Thank you it is lovely of Solange to do this as I know how busy she is...it is great as long as she doesn't start talking in rhyme as well ..imagine if I did...I already have a sing song voice as you know (living in Wales) didn't we have a frenzy of dogs? haha I have written a poem about all the dogs (I have tried to) but haven't had chance to post it but every time I thought I had finished someone else came on with their dog but it has gone a bit quieter now..next will have to be cats haha love x G x :-)

Yes, I'm really hoping that someone comes up with a completely different pet - a lovely crocodile for instance!

I'm just so relieved your poem went to the right place and wasn't lost in the ether somewhere, with my (lack of) computer skills, Gwyn.

Thank you, fellow Ovacomers for your kind comments. I'm quite ovacome!!

Love and healthy wishes, Solange x

Brilliant poem Solange,

I am so glad you wrote that for our Gwyn. I tried but couldn't make any sense but what you have written sums it up perfectly!

You may find you are a secret poet just like Gwyn discovered by chance.

Hugs Jackie xxx

Thank you Linda, and everyone else, too, for their lovely comments on my poem. I felt rather self conscious sending it but felt reassured after reading them all. :-)

Best wishes, Solange x

Hi Solange,

Glad you had a chuckle - anything to brighten this grey day. :-( I think it should be "A giggle a day keeps the Doctor away".

Keep smiling, Solange :-) :-)

in reply to Solange

Hi Solange,

Haha! Now who's talking in rhyme? teehee...you are right though it is nice having a giggle perhaps we could be the "giggle group" that's one thing OC can't take off us..

Love x G x :-D :-D :-D

in reply to

I forgot to say anymore jokes ??? :-D :-D

Solange in reply to

I'll have a look for some more but wouldn't know how to put them on here. Well, unless they're short enought to type out ........

Love Solange x :-D

in reply to Solange

Haha..Solange... that was funny...but I don't know how to put them on either...and a bit long to type it all up.. haha..I thought of starting a joke blog for people to add them on there that might be a good idea I am usually hopeless with jokes as it takes ages for the penny to drop and often have to have them explained which of course ruins them LOL cheers love x G x

:-)

A few giggly faces :-/ ;-) :-D:-)
