Carole Wagener’s tribute to her sister Cheryl appeared in our January 2018 edition. Here she expresses appreciation for sister Jeannie on her birthday.
Jeannie, You Are MY HERO
By Carole Wagener, Coastal Dunes Branch
You are my hero
So brave and true
Like those who wear the
Red, White, and Blue.
A medal you might not receive,
But a Gold Star I do believe,
Should be awarded on this day,
Make it “golden” before it fades.
Blow out the candles on your cake,
Or take a jump into the lake!
Another year has made you better.
Go out now and defy the weather.
Happy Birthday,
From your “baby” sister,
Carole
