’twas not so long ago I came to know you over exchange of small talks and “hi” and “hello” how long has it been? I can’t even remember then but I remember you in days when I’ve run out of things to do and my muse is in an ultimate unannounced break I remember you over galleries of photographs and stunning images of people, of nature, of even the most insignificant photo I remember you over wonderful thoughts about life and motherhood about living the daily extraordinarily I remember you and you reminded me of a wonderful and brilliant poet, Helene who’s soul have joined the rest of the lovely angels and magnificent minds and thinkers of writers and poets who have gone ahead of us in heaven and so today I am pretty sure Helene is up there waving and smiling as she warmly joins me in saying “happy birthday, dear Sadje” I remember you always

Its ben really tough Nima.. with the pandemic and the recent typhoon in my home country… its heartbreaking… i am not (we are not) affected directly though but seeing and witnessing my fellow Filipinos go through another devastating event is really breaking my heart.
Oh my, such a wonderful tribute to Helene. It’s lovely that you’ve turned this prompt into a sweet poem! I am truly grateful for your lovely wishes. Thanks a lot my friend
Your welcome Sadje… its a joy to always join the WDY Mondays even back in Helene’s time and wherever she is right now i am sure she is happy..
and you have made us all happy every Monday with your interesting photos.. so its just fitting to take this day, your birthday to celebrate our gratefulness…
What a lovely tribute to Helene and a birthday wish for Sadje! Your gentle, generous poem made me smile, and made be feel grateful to be part of this supportive community. Wishing you peace and contentment, Mich 🙂
Superb muse and such a lovely and gentle poem, Mich. It made feel so nice reading this beautiful piece of poetry. Happy Birthday to Sajde and a lovely tribute to Helene.
What a fabulous tribute to Helene and a beautiful birthday wish for Sadje! 🙂
Your love shines through, too, SweetMich!
It’s wonderful to have so many great blogging friends!

What a loving Tribute and most appropriate birthday wishes!
I feel left out having no idea who Helene is but a beautiful soul that I missed out on meeting 😦 But then we all know the delightful Sadje! Your kind heart shines thru Mich 🙂
Not meaning to detract from Helene but I don’t know any here who don’t make thoughtful comments Mich. Sometimes in a rush it might be brief but it’s always a warm friendly feeling here.
