What can I say about Robyn on this her special day?

Will I mention her ability to cheer us on our way?

Will I talk about her kindness? Her love for kids and dogs?

Her acceptance when her sons bring home lots of snakes and frogs?

Will I mention her stylish dress sense, her lovely confident walk?

The way her hair shines in the sun? Her inclusive, accepting talk?

Will I talk about her nurturing ways with family and friends?

Will I mention her mindful caring when sense of humour ends?

And yes Robyn is all those things and many more as well

But I know she has a wicked side as all her friends can tell

Her joking, smiling, upbeat side that encourages much laughter

Her ability to see the ridiculous in the heat of a disaster

Should I talk about her practicality and her kind and loving care?

Mention her perceptive ability to note when folk are in despair?

What about her lovely voice and her musical expertise?

Will I need to mention every one of her excellent qualities?

Or should I just say that this is her own special day?

Wish her happy birthday and then go on my way?

Happy sixtieth birthday to Robyn, a caring special friend

Lets hope you get spoilt today, and we’ll meet when lockdown ends!
