Rina´s Birthday Today Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Our friendship started with the visit to Baltimore in Maryland,
to see the house of her ex-husband, then to The White House,
to Canada the Niagara Falls, and Annaheim´s Disneyland and the Everglades in Florida, then through London-City and London-Trafalgar Square, then through Maryland, Virginia, Lurray Caverns and The NY Independence Statue on Long State Island, with the cruise to Dover then to London, to wintersport in Serfaus, you were surprised at so much snow and not as chilly and coldest as in the Netherlands, the unforgettable many many aprés skis, and oh the Everglades with so many shades, and more cruises, tours and sightseeings we have done, too many to include here, but this is especially for her BirthDAY today!

with love your loyal longtime friend,
Sylvie

Be Noted especially: you challenged me to run the race between us
when we were strolling along the White House. You THOUGHT you'll win
from me, because you are tad younger, but what surprised you the most?

I won this race, you could not believe this, but from the start I knew that I will not let lose this race, I wanted to show the proof that
I am a sporting woman, a professional almost in the tennis sport
and I am used to run as the quickest, I have beaten my spouse and now
I have beaten you. I never regret that I did this race at your demand, now you know that I am really good in sport. You experienced with this that you must never look down upon people who are elder than you, since you have never been a sport woman as I have been. I am truly happy that I had done this running race with you, that time in front of the White House, I think during Clinton's reign. Thank you so much dear best friend Rina, that I may tell this story on Poem Hunter.
God's Blessings be upon you on your BirthDay!
