For Dawn Munro

A Happy Birthday at Dawn

by Debi Pick Marquette


Toronto, Canada, is where our Dawn Deborah lives  

A sweet and lovely woman, and with her talent she gives

Her osteoarthritis and her fibro causes pain

It's very hard to live with but tries hard not to complain


Our dear Dawn has breast cancer, but she has had surgery

The way some speak of radiation feels like perjury 

'Cause I've heard people make it sound like it is no big deal

But bad sickness and aches and pains are how it makes her feel


For a successful published author, she will beta-read

She publishes herself and with each book she plants a seed

Awards for writing, and also the contests she has won

Just look in her portfolio to see all she has done


But Dawn is so prolific, working on her novels too

Her lovely poetry, and writing more that are all new

Like John Wesley, an author, whom she's a very big fan 

Says, do some good in all the ways, the best of what you can 


And you'll find many of her books they sell on Amazon

Photography and short stories, as she writes on and on

She wrote and she produced a video once for tv

And she received a big award for it's excellency  

  

She loved Jamaica but last time was in "87"

But she believes that her next paradise will be heaven  

Dawn, you're seventy three today;  we love you any age

There's many here who are like you and they're on the same page 


We all would like to celebrate you, Dawn, so if we may 

 'Cause all of us at FanStory wish you Happy Birthday
