Dear Anna, thank you for the lovely review and kind compliments. Yes, Debbie reviewed this and she loved it. She said she was -- "in bits after reading." She will appreciate your kind words as well. Thank you so much for stopping by.
Sending you my best today as always.

Love your poem. It is such a heartfelt poem for Debbie. I'm going to miss her poems. I like the fact that you put we never say goodbye in the poem. It seems so final. I like the words you put throughout the poem. Great writing, Brenda

This is a very caring and thoughtful poetic message to Debbie, acknowledging her departure while looking forward to her return. Goodbye sounds so final, but "Take care, I'll see you later," shows hope for the future. Thank you for this beautiful tribute to Debbie. We will surely miss her, and look forward to her return.

Dear Lorraine, thank you for the lovely review and kind words for Debbie. I know she will treasure them. I'm with you and many others: we hope to see her sooner than later, but -- we'll never say goodbye.
All my very best,

This is an excellent way to celebrate a lovely friend, whom we hope to see again. I love the repetition of, 'We never say goodbye', its effect in the poem is magical in driving home the message of the poem. Thanks so much, dear Sally, for sharing your thoughtful poem. Remain blessed, my good friend.

Hi Saly, thank you so much for sharing this tribute to Debbie, I particularly resonate with this one:"Though you travel
to a place unknown,
or plan a new adventure
with treasures to find.
No doubt there's a Heaven
filled with stars and moon
and reflections of your kind." Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

Such a cool way to send off a friend who is leaving, but saying that you will see them again. The photo is awesome too and goes well with the poem. The rhyming scheme is great too. Keep up the excellent work!

I like that you're not saying 'goodbye,' and I hope Debbie isn't saying it either. I do hope she will be back with us soon, writing her lovely biographical poems. The repetitions are lovely, and drive home the point effectively. Blessings. Carol

This is a delightfully written poem to say goodby, but not goodby to one of the most gifted poets on FanStory. I will miss seeing her poems - so informative, so poetically correct, and so interesting.
